Tips:

- To make sure your pralines don't burn, use a microwave-safe bowl and cook them in short intervals, stirring in between. - If you don't have a microwave-safe bowl, you can use a regular bowl and place it inside a larger microwave-safe bowl filled with water. - To get a chewier praline, cook them for a shorter amount of time. For a crispier praline, cook them for a longer amount of time. - If you want to add different flavors to your pralines, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract, almond extract, or cinnamon. - You can also add chopped nuts or dried fruit to your pralines for a different flavor. Just be sure to add them after the pralines have been cooked for a few minutes, so they don't burn.

Conclusion:

These easy microwave pralines are a delicious and simple treat that can be made in just a few minutes.
