Ellen's Sweet Rx For A Great Mardi Gras!

                            A Sweet Treat From Ellen! 

Ellen Degeneres loves to talk about her hometown-New Orleans.
And if you like to party-then you may want to head to New Orleans
and take part in one of the biggest parties of the year.

The party: Mardi Gras!
That's right- it's almost that time of yr. again, and if you can't make it 

to New Orleans, you can still enjoy one of the most popular sweet treats
served at Mardi Gras.
What's the sweet treat? Pralines!

Buttery and sugary, pralines will be served to thousands of people
during the next 3 weeks, and if you can't make it to the big party,
you can make your own.

Listed below is a recipe for the sweet treat.
Pour 1 can sugar, 3 tbs. dark corn syrup, 1 cup evaporated milk and
3 tbs. butter into a nonstick pan. Stir over medium heat until bubbly
and keep stirring until mixture is soft and holds its shape. Remove 

from heat, allow it to cool for 15 mins. then add 1 & 1/2 cups of pecan
halves and a tiny bit of vanilla extract. Stir with a wooden spoon for
a couple minutes or until it thickens. And lastly, drop by spoonfuls
onto a baking sheet that has some waxed paper on it, let the pralines
cool completely and then peel off and eat your homemade sweet treats.

Although these treats are made with butter and sugar, you may want
to practice moderation. And if you're swearing off sweets as a New Year's
resolution, skip this article and prepare a bowl of fresh or frozen fruit.
And if you don't want to make them, go online and order some at...

Good Luck!
