praline

Praline is a type of confection made from nuts, usually almonds or hazelnuts, combined with sugar that’s been heated to create a caramelized shell. The nuts are coated or mixed with the glazed sugar, resulting in a crunchy, sweet, and nutty treat. In some regions, especially France, praline also refers to a smooth paste made by grinding nuts and sugar, used as a filling or flavoring in chocolates and pastries. Overall, pralines are appreciated for their rich flavor and satisfying texture, making them popular in candies, confections, and desserts worldwide.
