• Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, for cooling the cookies
• Combine sugar, brown sugar, half and half, butter and water in a sauce pan over medium-high heat.
• Stir continually until the mixture reaches 239 degrees
• Add pecans, remove from heat and stir like a mad-man for 2 minutes (use a wood spoon if you have one!)
• Once the pecans are staying "suspended" in the mixture, spoon pralines onto your parchment lined cookie sheet.
• Optional: Add M&M's® Pecan Pie candies to the top of the pralines on cookie sheet
• Allow to cool completely

Chocolate for Dipping

• Use about 4 ounces of DOVE® Milk Chocolate candies; microwaving at 50% power for 30 second intervals, stirring after each 30 seconds until melted
• Dip cooled pralines into the chocolate mix
• Option 2: Sprinkle crushed M&M's® Pecan Pie candies onto the dipped cookies before the chocolate cools
