Nougat Pralines

For an even mouthfeel, do not chop too coarsely.

Shake or stir frequently while toasting so they don't burn.

Warm nuts would make the filling too soft.

Butter and nougat should be at room temperature for a particularly smooth cream.

Stir only briefly to keep the mixture airy.

Place the piping bag in a tall glass to make filling easier and cleaner.

Leave the rim free so the couverture can seal the shell properly later.

Do not let the couverture get too hot, otherwise the shells may melt.

To speed up setting, chill briefly but not too long in the fridge to avoid condensation.
