I had a hard time finding praline paste, so I used chopped pecans instead. The chews still turned out great!

These chews were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of pralines, but these chews were surprisingly good. The chocolate coating was rich and creamy, and the inside was chewy and flavorful. I'd definitely make these again.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The chews turned out amazing. They're gooey, chocolatey, and have the perfect amount of crunch. I'll definitely be making these again.
