Why Wont My Pralines Get Hard?
Pralines may not harden due to several reasons. Firstly, if the temperature is too low when cooking, it will prevent the sugar from reaching the crystallization stage needed for hardness. Secondly, if the mixture is not cooked for long enough, it will not reach the soft ball stage and will remain too soft. Lastly, humidity can also prevent pralines from hardening, as moisture will prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
