A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

reviews & comments
After reviewing many other recipes, I decided on this one b/c the ingred. look great. ***Huge problem*** which I believe is simply a typo. The recipe calls for: 1 cup whipping cream (unwhipped). I think this should be 1/2 cup cream instead. The mix seemed to be too runny even though it formed the softball stage...so hesitantly, I kept to the recipe just see if it would set. So far, it's not looking good. I will keep it for more hours but being that it is soo-oo- gooey & sticky--- -I dont see how it would possibly set. disappointed not just by the wasted pecans but also because the caramel tastes good.
Actually the ratio of one cup of cream to one pound of brown sugar isn't unusual for praline recipes (look at some of the other recipes on the site, many call for this ratio). The recipe says to cook to 242F which is the very high end of softball stage (closer to firm ball) which makes me wonder if it just wasn't cooked long enough.
