Remarks
You can vary the proportion of chocolate more or less according to your taste.
If you only have almonds or hazelnuts, no problem either, your praline will just be more hazelnut- or almond-flavored, as the case may be.

Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top.
