Dr. Pepper Pralines		    

The Dr. Pepper in these pralines give them a 'different' flavor. It doesn't taste like Dr. Pepper, but it's not a straight praline either. The marshmallows keep the pralines creamy. Everyone that has tried them say that they like them a lot. Be sure to work fast when forming the patties. The mixture will set up quickly as it cools.
Makes about 30 pralines
