"This is one of the, if not THE, best praline recipes I've had. I found it on Cookierecipes101.com. Be sure you have parchment paper and a candy thermometer. The amount per praline is up to you, but I estimated about 1-2 T per praline. I cut down the amount of pecans, but that is the only change I made. They came out perfectly and taste just like you're sitting at Jackson Square."
