pralines

Pralines are a type of confectionery made by combining sugar, cream or milk, and nuts—most commonly pecans or almonds—and cooking them to create a creamy, caramelized mixture. Once cooled, this mixture firms into a rich, sweet treat with a smooth, nut-filled center. Originating from France and popular in the southern United States, pralines can be enjoyed as standalone candies or incorporated into desserts. Their characteristic flavor combines the sweetness of caramelized sugar with the rich, crunchy texture of nuts, making them a beloved indulgence.
