I cannot believe I haven’t posted my praline recipe!! So this is it. The pralines I made today for this photo are intended to be chopped up and mixed in my Loch Ness Vanilla Bean ice cream so they aren’t the best example. If I were making them as gifts, I’d add more pecans and be sure to mix them in more evenly in each one!
