This is one of my favorite recipes because it’s super easy to make and delicious! A coworker was kind enough to bring a batch of these pralines into the office and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve changed the recipe a tad over time to find the perfect flavor combination.
I want to point out a couple of things you will need in order to make this delicious treat: You will need wax paper and a candy thermometer.
Enjoy!
