What are pecan pralines made of?

The praline is a southern tradition, commonly made with sugar and corn syrup. It’s been around since before America had its own official flag!

Some believe that the dessert was first created to mock British invaders for their habit of eating candy during tea time without Sugar Act restrictions!

However, that isn’t exactly true. LOL! Pralines actually originated in France and used almonds. When the French settlers arrived in the New World, they struggled to find almond trees, but pecan trees were aplenty! So, they substituted pecans and added cream to thicken the mixture (probably due to the humidity) resulting in today’s fudge-like pralines!

Is it Praline Pecan or Pecan Praline?

Well, they are both correct depending on what you are talking about.

A pecan praline is a cluster of pecans in a sugary sweet coating – typically patty shaped. Whereas a praline pecan is just an individual pecan coated in praline goodness.
