About Candies, praline, prepared-from-recipe
Pralines are a soft, fudge-like Southern candy made by cooking sugar, brown sugar, butter and cream into a caramel, then folding in pecans and dropping spoonfuls to set into patties. They are sweet, buttery and studded with toasted nuts — a New Orleans specialty with French roots.
They are rich and calorie-dense, at about 485 calories per 100 grams, with roughly 26 grams of fat from the butter, cream and pecans and around 60 grams of carbohydrate, of which about 56 grams is sugar. The pecans add a few grams of fiber and some minerals, but a praline is fundamentally a buttered-sugar candy. Sodium is low.
Pralines are meant to be savored a small piece at a time — their richness is the point. They appear on holiday and dessert tables and as a beloved regional gift, and their flavor inspires praline-flavored ice creams, spreads and coffees.
