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.

EASY PRALINES
Pralines are delicious and always were something I liked to eat. I never made them because the recipes were too complicated. This changed when I got this from "Cooking New Orleans Style". Now I make and eat them and don't have to wait for DH to go to Louisianna on a business trip.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Break the graham crackers into 4 as they are scored. Place close together on 2 average sized cookie sheets with 1/2 inch lip. Don't keep them intact like they come because the sauce needs to ooze between them but still put the crackers real close together on the sheet. In saucepan, stirring constantly, heat to boiling the butter and the sugar on medium to low heat. Boil 2 minutes. Pour evenly over graham crackers. Using spatula, lightly smooth the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Bake 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh, quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- To evenly toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. It should reach a light amber color.
- Pour the praline mixture onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
- Store the pralines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Pralines are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their crunchy texture and sweet, nutty flavor, they're the perfect addition to any dessert table.
