Praline Day

In Louisiana and Texas, a praline (pronounced PRAY-leen or PRAW-leen) is a
flat, round, creamy candy patty dotted with crunchy pecans. Early Creoles began
using local pecans as the nuts, instead of the almonds or hazelnuts used in the
French confection. The product evolved into a candy made of brown sugar, butter
and cream and cooked to a soft-ball stage like fudge, but filled with pecans and
spooned onto wax paper to form patties. It is called a praline but has
absolutely nothing in common with French—or any European—pralines, except for
the use of sugar and nuts.
