Microwave Pralines

Ingredients
1 pound light brown sugar
1 8 oz. container regular Cool Whip
½ cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoon butter
What To Do
Mix together brown sugar and Cool Whip in a large bowl that can stand microwave heat (I suggest a 2 quart Pyrex measuring bowl with a handle). Microwave mixture on high for 5 minutes, remove from microwave and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes. Add pecans and return to microwave for 6 minutes on high. Remove from oven, add butter and stir until mixture loses gloss and begins to thicken.
Turn out on a Silpat sheet or a very smooth surface that has been coated with cooking spray. DO NOT USE WAX PAPER—IT WILL MELT!
Makes approximately 16 praline patties. Allow to cool thoroughly.

When do you add the cool whip?
What do you do with the cool whip?
I watched your show and how you made the recipe. Above you forgot to mix the whipped topping with the brown sugar. Before you microwave the first time.
