EASY MICROWAVE PRALINES
This recipe came from Roma Jean. I had never tried to make pralines until now and these are so yummy. I was part of a ladies day workshop at my church and I made 9 different desserts. This was a favorite! And I brought my microwave to the classroom and made them on site.

EASY PRALINES
Pralines are delicious and always were something I liked to eat. I never made them because the recipes were too complicated. This changed when I got this from "Cooking New Orleans Style". Now I make and eat them and don't have to wait for DH to go to Louisianna on a business trip.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Break the graham crackers into 4 as they are scored. Place close together on 2 average sized cookie sheets with 1/2 inch lip. Don't keep them intact like they come because the sauce needs to ooze between them but still put the crackers real close together on the sheet. In saucepan, stirring constantly, heat to boiling the butter and the sugar on medium to low heat. Boil 2 minutes. Pour evenly over graham crackers. Using spatula, lightly smooth the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Bake 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pecans will give your pralines the best flavor. If you can't find fresh pecans, you can use roasted pecans, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overcook the pralines: The pralines are done when they reach a temperature of 235 degrees Fahrenheit. If you overcook them, they will be hard and brittle.
- Be careful when handling the hot pralines: The pralines are very hot when they come out of the oven. Be careful not to burn yourself when you are handling them.
- Let the pralines cool completely before storing them: The pralines need to cool completely before you store them. If you store them while they are still warm, they will be sticky and difficult to handle.
- Store the pralines in an airtight container: The pralines can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Pralines are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of pralines that will be enjoyed by everyone. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or just as a snack, pralines are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give pralines a try. You won't be disappointed!
