I've made these pralines several times and they always turn out great. They're a bit finicky to make, but they're definitely worth the effort.

These pralines are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe if you don't like your pralines too sweet.
