I believe the other way, pra(rhymes with bra)-leen. At least on the other side of the pond I never heard they 'pray-leen' version until I came this side.

Some history for the word:

The original praline recipe, developed for Cesar, Duke of Choseul, Count of Plessis-Praslin in 1636 by his head chef, Clement Jaluzot. (For history fans, this was during the reign of Louis XIII, who was a big fan of the Duke's candied nuts.) The Mazet praslines are wonderful nuggets of caramelized sugar and roasted almonds.
