Tips:

Use fresh coconut for the best flavor. If you're using dried coconut, be sure to rehydrate it in hot water before using.
Toast the coconut in a pan over medium heat until it is golden brown and fragrant. This will help to bring out the coconut's flavor.
Be careful not to overcook the pralines. They should be cooked until they are just set, but not too hard.
Dip the pralines in chocolate or drizzle them with chocolate for a richer flavor.
Store the pralines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
