Pecan Store January 26th, 2009

While I was at work the other day, we got on the subject of pecans and my coworker asked me about pralines.

Is it candy? Is it chocolate? Does it even have anything to do with pecans?

The answer to that is really very simple. A praline is a pecan coated in an irresistible sugary candy coating for a sweet crunch. They can be eaten whole and on their own, but oftentimes they’re chopped up or crushed and mixed into everything from chocolate to ice cream.

While I was doing a Google search for “praline” I discovered that it can also take on the form of a more traditional candy brittle, but the ingredients are the same for the most part and both feature pecans. Interestingly enough though, the European version of praline candy usually consists of almonds and hazelnuts… just a little fun fact I found.

Praline Pecans: So simple. So delicious.
