EASY MICROWAVE PRALINES
This recipe came from Roma Jean. I had never tried to make pralines until now and these are so yummy. I was part of a ladies day workshop at my church and I made 9 different desserts. This was a favorite! And I brought my microwave to the classroom and made them on site.

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:
