These pralines are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were still just as delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of pralines, but I really enjoyed these. They were so flavorful and not too sweet.

I made these pralines for my friends and they all raved about them. They said they were the best pralines they had ever had.

I love that this recipe uses both light and dark brown sugar. It gives the pralines a really rich flavor.

These pralines are the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The peanut butter flavor really shines through and the pecans add a nice crunch.

I've tried many praline recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The pralines were perfectly chewy and sweet, with just the right amount of crunch from the pecans. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves pralines!
