Nope, if you’re insulin resistant don’t eat this
New Orleans Restaurant Pralines
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup light molasses
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups pecans, halves
Drink 1 glass of dry white wine
Boil brown sugar, molasses, cream and butter together, stirring all the time, until the sugar dissolves while drinking wine.
Drink 2nd glass of dry white wine.
Continue boiling without stirring until a soft ball is formed when a drop is placed in cold water.
Drink 3rd glass of dry white wine
Remove from the heat, add the vanilla extract and nuts, and stir the mixture until it begins to crystallize. Gulf down rest of the bottle of dry white wine Drop spoonsful of the mixture in small heaps on buttered baking sheets, leaving enough room between the pralines for them to spread slightly.
Stagger out of kitchen and announce to friends and family
“I made sumtin in dere come see wot I got.”

Sounds yummy! There’s a seven-layer cookie I do (butter stick, graham cracker crumbs, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, walnuts, coconut) that could send you into some sort of coma. But it’s worth the trip!

No, if you want to instigate insulin shock, [Igor Bars](http://www.geocities.com/delazan/IgorBars.html) are the way to go. :eek:

I’m slightly suspicious that you posted a recipe in the BBQ Pit too. Is it coming to the end of your trial?

Really easy! and the best part is you just put it all in the pan. On the stovetop on low heat, melt one stick of butter in a 13x9 baking pan (it will form a shallow layer). Sprinkle 1-1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs evenly over the butter. Sprinkle one cup of shredded coconut evenly over the whole thing. Then one cup chcoclate chips. Then one cup butterscotch chips. (peanut butter chips probably Ok too) Then one can (15-oz) sweetened condensed milk. Then one cup chopped walnuts.
Bake at 350 about 25-30 minutes; youll see the edges start to brown. Let it cool and cut into bars. A small bar goes a long way as it’s quite rich. I suggest making them at least a day before as they settle in to their flavor. It’s one of those cookies that tastes good when you first bite into it and then the flavors unfold as you take time to relish it.
