Cut the praline layers into strips 1.5cm wide
Cut the strips into descending lengths
Start layering the praline strips one on top of the other, longest at the bottom. Alternate between dark and gold on each layer.
Use a small amount of chocolate, in the very centre, to stick the layers together
Turn each new layer by 5-10 degrees so that the tree swirls as it goes up.
If you don't want to layer to create your Christmas tree, you could package them.
