Notes

Tips for Making Better Homemade Pralines

Use high-quality baking chocolate or couverture for the smoothest texture.
Do not let water touch the melted chocolate. Even a little water can cause chocolate to seize.
Let the bittersweet chocolate cool slightly before coating so it does not melt the filling too quickly.
Use an ice cube tray if you want more even pieces.
Store the finished pralines in a cool place until serving.
