Steps:
- Prepare a muffin tin by filling with cupcake liners; set aside.
- Add all ingredients to a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir consistently as you bring to a boil.
- Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature - when it reads 235-240°F remove pan from heat. (This should take about 10 minutes or so).
- Use wooden spoon to vigorously stir the mixture, so that it thickens as it cools and starts to have a cloudier appearance. This should take anywhere from 2-5 minutes.
- While the mixture is still hot, use a cookie scoop to portion out the praline mixture into your muffin tin. You want to make sure to cover the bottom of each cupcake liner.
- Allow to cool completely until firm.
- Remove the cupcake liner before serving.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH MARINADE
A wonderful marinade that makes even the toughest cuts of beef so tender you could cut them with a butter knife. Tastes great on pork chops and chicken, too. Play with the amounts of garlic and ginger to suit your taste. I tend to use more rather than less. Makes enough for four servings.
