Easy Pecan Pralines, Member sheliahuffman

I followed measurments and I used my new digital candy thermometer, but my pralines were too thick and took on a rather chalky appearance rather than the thinner glossy one that I was expecting. Did I perhaps stir them too long? I wanted a shinier sheen so maybe I should not have stirred until they lost their glossy.
