MEXICAN PRALINES
A Christmas time specialty of the Simpson family in the Mesilla Valley. This recipe is from A Bite of History--Recipes and Tales for the Mesilla Valley Compiled by Sunny Conly. This recipe is a little different from most. The cook time is a guesstimate. I will try to remember to time it at Christmas.
