How many of y'all have ever been to a Savannah Candy Kitchen or River Street Sweets? Were you lucky enough to meet my friend Stan?

[@armymom128]

Always go there when down on riverstreet. Oh my gosh there is nothing like the pralines and oh gosh all the other candy you can smell it!

[@lindapadron8364]

Sadly I have not. I have been wanting to go visit Savannah maybe some day I will make my way.

[@nikkilovesrocks]

Oh, i wish! I plan on visiting in 5-10yrs, so maybe one of his kids will be there 🤞 Sweet Man made Sweet Candy and Sweet Memories 🕯

[@joybeaudry8727]

YES.... I love River Street Sweets!! but no, I never met Stan. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.

[@snowieherrera8508]

Every time we have friends visit from the north we take them to river street to get pralines. They are soooo good. Thanks for the recipe. I’m gonna make them. Bless you and get your shoulder fixed.

[@janethamil9337]

That was a very nice tribute to your friend. Thank you for sharing with us his recipe and about his life. He sounds like he was a true southern gentleman.

[@apatterson1461]

I'm in tears over the loss of your dear friend. As one of your longtime fans I've visited his store when vacationing and his pralines are the best. My son's first praline was at his store. Wonderful memories to keep.

[@lisapop5219]

Our daughter gave us some of these for Christmas. She lives in savannah and likes to send us things made there. They are very good. RIP Stan.

[@ML-sy3bn]

I remember him from your show because he stood out to me. He seemed to be such a cheerful, bright soul. So sorry for all of yours and the town's loss as I am sure he will be sorely missed by all.

[@morganmason7029]

Love getting Pralines from River Street Sweets when we come to Savannah. Praying for peace and comfort for his family and friends.

[@zzzzipy12]

Sad to hear that Mr. Stan passed away, his legacy will live on! I love sone pralines, think I’ll go order some from Savannah Candy! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@whatshername369]

When I see Michael and you together I think "I am so glad he found her." That little dog who ran off was a matchmaking angel. So sorry for the loss of another angel, Stan.

[@julieee4246]

I was lucky enough to meet him and eat at his candy kitchen years ago....it was wonderful. Was with my grandparents and family. The pralines melted on your tongue. It was one of the very best experiences of my life. Just a perfect moment in time of the beautiful candy kitchen, scenery, smells, and heaven. I even did a scrapbook of our trip to Savannah. They had a peach festival going on that was so beautiful. Thankful for the good memories....

[@vickiepatterson1748]

Stan was like Santa, spreading joy and sweetness all year round! 😍 Thanks for sharing this great recipe Paula! 😘

[@luvjesuslee2033]

Think of all the joy Stan brought to everyone who got to taste his candy?? 💥Wow Just like Paula's cooking.. I'm Southern & my Mama was a Southern Cook like Paula. Absolutely The Best Cook's in my Preference.. They can just cook it all. Meals, Dessert's, appetizers, candies, Ice Creams, Party Foods, Picnic Foods, Vacation Foods, & I'm sure I'm leaving something out lol. May Stan make Pralines in Heaven🕊️💞🕊️

[@Jeannified]

Very sweet tribute to sweet Stan. I am flying into Atlanta in late July…my first time back on a plane in three years. I will definitely visit his shop in concourse B, and pick up some of his original and chocolate pralines, as well as his turtles. RIP, Stan!

[@mamaksstorytime]

Rest peacefully, Stan. You spread sweetness and joy wherever you were during this life.

[@denisenilsson1366]

Please accept my most sincere condolences on Stan's passing. May your memories of him ease your shattered heart. Know that his pralines will be blowing the angels' minds.

[@bellabusa8169]

I ordered his Pralines for Christmas gifts, every year, after I visited Savannah Candy Kitchen in Savannah. My thoughts are with his family. Thank you for your tribute Paula and Michael.

[@brendah4773]

Another wonderful episode. In memory of Stan! ❤️ A new guy I’m dating….. he made me pralines ❤️ and yes, he’s a southern man 🥰 Love to y’all from Loveland, Colorado ❤️

[@willgreen6289]

Paula, you are the real deal. You are the way people are supposed to be. You give hope to people that the world is still worth living in because good people still exist. Life can see have so much meaning and people still recognize it and recognize good people. The way you honor other people and love living life is a testament.

[@1CathyHendrix]

So very sorry for the loss of your friend. These look so good! Condensed milk is full fat cow's milk that has had the water removed. I have learned so much from Paula over the years. I'm proud that I knew the answer to something that I can share with her. Love Michael and Paula in the kitchen!! Hope ya'll have a great week! God bless!

[@scarleenswalker7923]

The recipe called for evaporated milk, not condensed milk, right?

[@bernadettesmith3261]

@@scarleenswalker7923 yes....that is what I heard.

[@MaryDavidson911]

Actually condensed milk, is actually sweetened condensed milk, and it has had 60% of its water removed PLUS a bunch of sugar added. Whereas evaporated milk does not have added sugar and with also 60% of his water removed. I just wanted to point out that condensed milk also contains a bunch of sugar which you didn’t happen to mention.

[@scarleenswalker7923]

@@MaryDavidson911 I wasn’t really disputing how either milk was made, but…. Was clearing in my mind which milk was used in the recipe. This post referred to condensed milk. When I reviewed her recipe, she said EVAPORATED milk. It make a HUGE difference in a recipe.

[@lisaforbes7325]

The correct milk is evaporated. Learned to make these years ago from my mom. The thing that confuses me is all of these new recipes use brown sugar. We only used white sugar that had to be cooked in butter until it turned brown.

[@MrJasonl76]

his candies will always be some of the best, my condolences to the family...

[@Farfar3881]

Paula you’re the best. I really appreciate all you do for all of us. Your recipes are irreplaceable. My condolences to the family of Stan.

[@watchinvidzwatchinvidz7691]

The Candy man can...cause he mixes it with love & makes the world taste good. This is part of a song from the 70s Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.

[@cynthiaharrell2144]

I think evaporated milk is when the water has been removed. It is wonderful to cook with. Good candy in honor of a good man.

[@tennesseeiris701]

This made me curious also so I went to my source that knows everything....Google 😊and it said it is where about 60% of the water has been removed from the fresh milk. It also said that in some countries it is know as unsweetened condensed milk. Who knew?

[@kayebyrd7783]

So sorry for the loss of your friend Stan! He was a delight every show you shared him with us. Prayers for his family

[@denisewilkes7486]

Lovely memorial to Stan, I have been making pralines over 30 years but I recall the ones we had in Savannah years ago and they were so creamy and loaded with pecans, delicious!

[@higgybee6509]

Sorry to hear you and Michael lost a friend. Where I live in Canada you can't find a praline anywhere. We used to be able to get them at a local nut shop but they closed down decades ago. I used to always buy the pralines Thank you for the recipe because I have been wanting to make some but like you I have a bad arm so I can't beat the mixture. I looked on the Savannah Candy website to see if I could order some pralines but they don't ship internationally. Thank you for sharing the recipe

[@marysewitsky4823]

We ve been to the Savannah shop and omg, the smell and taste

[@33479Leigh]

Savannah/tybee was my respite from this crazy world during the pandemic. I’ve been to those candy shops , I don’t remember Stan, but I do remember the candy . Rest easy , Stan ❤️

[@Bloodhoundfostermom]

what a beautiful tribute ....Rest in heavenly peace Stan 🙏💜

[@kayrackley4698]

These look scrumptious. So sorry to hear about Stan. I have been to both candy shops. So much to see in them both. Your so sweet to dedicate this show to him. Love and hugs

[@Lea941]

Pralines was my Dads favorite candy. His favorite was from Mary of Pudding Hill, Greenville Texas.

[@CHEWS]

Wow, what a great way to honor your friend. I remember seeing him in one of your videos. I can tell he was a kind soul, and I bet that smile lit up any room he was in. My heart goes out to all his family and dear friends. ❤️

[@sammyhakimvlogs5608]

This Pralines recipe looks so delicious Paula. I'm so sorry to hear about Stan Strickland's passing. I had the chance to watch many videos of you with him when you did Paula's Best Dishes and also when you did Paula's Party. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time they're all going through right now.

[@wendyzanders7284]

Hi Paula, i remember him being on your show. Such a sweet man. RIP. BTW I LOVE PRALINES TOO.

[@Foxys10]

I loved watching you two together. Such a wonderful friendship between you two. You could tell he loved what he did as well as loved the people around him. Such a lovely tribute. God rest his soul. 🕊

RIP Stanley. Condolences and sincere sympathy to his family.

Gos bless Stan’s soul as he journeys home. Peace love and light

[@grandsrgrand4370]

Evaporated milk is milk that has been concentrated by heating it until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. It makes it easier to digest, and it has fewer calories than regular milk.

[@cheychey175]

So excited for this recipe!! Thank you! Very sweet of you to dedicate this to him. He will be missed.

[@carolmcdaniel8148]

Praying for his family and all the friends that are grieving his loss.

I'm so glad you mentioned chocolate pralines. I had a lady who said she was from New Orleans and she'd never ever heard of a chocolate praline!

Sorry about the loss of your amazing friend. Im just now happening across this video. I have always loved pralines. I live in Huntington wv and growing up here all my life we had a wonderful grocery store chain called Big Bear and their Deli was amazing....i was addicted to these cookie looking things the made called pecan pralines...they were thin almost the consistency like if they had baked eagle brand milk into a carmely lattice look...it hardened softly and was drizzled w a little chocolate and a few tiny crushed pecans...oh my gosh do i miss them. The small chain of Big Bears closed when walmarts moved into the area though :( anyway,,,i sooo love your recipes and also the stories you tell while you cook for us. Thank you my friend to all ❤️

[@mddell58]

I definitely recall the video with Stan @2:45. He truly looks very kind, & happy. 👍 ♥️ 👍 ♥️ 👍 ♥️

[@luvjesuslee2033]

They are melt in your mouth Wonderful, and smell so good can make your mouth watery 💞

[@ericeandco]

Love how honest and straight forward she is. She didn’t pretend to know what evaporated milk was. It’s just milk where they evaporate some of the liquid out in processing. Big difference between evaporated and condensed. If she says evaporated that’s what you not use.

[@KQOAmericanLady]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@libertygiveme1987]

🙂He sounds like he was a really DECENT GUY!!!! Rest In Eternal Peace Stan. Make some Pralines for the Father. I'm sure He'd like that!!!!

Sorry for your loss of the GREAT CANDY MAN. Sending love and respect to his wife, children, and to the community, because, when the master has met his maker, there's some kind of loss in the taste of the original maker of Savannah Candy Kitchen. I always donate to Salvation Army. When I was a young woman I was struggling with two children, the Salvation Army, brought me enough food to cook for a small army. That has been more than 40 years ago, I will be forever, grateful, to this day I don't know how they knew I had it hard as a single MoM. As a small girl I used to go to the salvation Army, maybe God told them one way or another I will never forget thank you, Paula, and thank you, Stan, for continuing your help, and support to those less fortunate or just down on their luck. Thank you, for sharing this beautiful recipe. Your kindness through the Salvation Army along with your kind works through your community has given you points with the big guy. RIP Stan Strickland

[@etm567]

Use evaporated milk in your mashed potatoes. It uses up whatever water is left in those potatoes and makes it rich and delicious. You can try using heavy cream and it does not come close to how delicious evaporated milk makes your mashed potatoes. Try it! I shall use it always in my pralines from this day forward! (I have finally trained my husband to buy evaporated milk at Costco in quantity. Thank goodness!) And, dear Paula, it's really an "eye" only on an electric stove. Think about it! And I always use at least double the vanilla, but for me, the more the merrier! It just gets better and better! But vanilla is so good a tiny amount does go a long way. But twice as much is never too much!

[@sortathesame8701]

Wow, his smile just lit up the room when you and he were talking! It was clear you were just as precious to his heart as he was to yours!

[@margiemasih990]

That's all I cook with is evaporated milk..it is the best .

[@mddell58]

Here's about EVAPORATED MILK: 🐄 Evaporated milk gives body to smoothies, thickens up and sweetens coffee, & adds nuance & richness to creamy soups and chowders, not to mention savory sauces & even oatmeal. If you don't have much of a sweet tooth, you can also use it in place of sweetened condensed milk in plenty of desserts.

[@NYCBrat]
