THE FUN PART! THE PRALINE FUDGE FROSTING! 

1. Combine the butter, brown sugar and whipping cream in a 2 quart saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring often.
2. Boil 1 min; remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla.
3. Add the pecans and New Orleans Famous Pralines (We love the chocolate flavor in this recipe, but the classic and creamy will be equally mouth-watering!) stir gently for 2-5 minutes, or until the frosting begins to cool and thicken slightly.
4. Pour immediately over the cake.
