CHARLESTON PRALINE RECIPE-Raw Vegan

This is one of my favorite treats when i walk the streets of downtown Charleston! You can find a dozen or so sweet shops that make pralines and will willingly give you a sample:) However they are very rich and unhealthy, usually made from Butter, Cream, Pecans and Sugar!! I wanted to make a healther version that was easy to prepare.  I can tell you that i have had my fair share of pralines and this raw food version is just as Good.  It still has a wonderfull sweetness from the honey and dates, so it will satisfy anyones sweet tooth!! You can whip a batch up in minutes and even get your kids to help...no cooking here:) Enjoy
