Notes

As it turns out, creating lovely, delicious pralines is both simple and inexpensive. This recipe also leaves plenty of room for experimentation! Add dried fruit or jam to the condensed milk, for example, or roll the pralines in powdered sugar. For a particularly fancy touch, you can even garnish with edible gold leaf! Wow!
