Ingredients (per serving):

- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Cooking Tips:

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the pecans from sticking to the bottom.
- Be careful not to burn the pecans while toasting them.
- Use high-quality maple syrup for the best flavor.

Cooking Process:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Spread the chopped pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
3. In a non-stick pan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.
4. Add the toasted pecans to the pan and stir to coat them with the syrup mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the pecans are coated and the mixture has thickened.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and let the pecans cool for a few minutes.
6. In a separate pan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
7. Remove the pan from the heat and add the dark chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
8. To assemble the indulgences, spoon the pecan praline mixture into small cups or ramekins. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the pecans.
9. Chill the indulgences in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
