I'm allergic to pecans, so I substituted walnuts in this recipe. The pralines still turned out great!

These pralines are the worst thing I've ever eaten. They're way too sweet and they have a weird aftertaste.

I'm not a huge fan of pralines, but these are pretty good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice crunch.

These pralines are a bit too expensive to make on a regular basis, but they're definitely worth it for a special occasion.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never seem to get the pralines to set properly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I had a hard time finding pecan halves, so I used chopped pecans instead. The pralines still turned out great!
