Praline is a candy made from sugar-roasted nuts (typically almonds or pecans) that are caramelized and sometimes coated in chocolate. As a noun, it also refers to a derivative confection or a nut-based confectionery piece. In cooking, praline can describe a sweet paste or topping derived from caramelized nuts, and in some contexts, a praline-flavored ingredient. Originating from French culinary terms, pralines are cherished for their rich, nutty sweetness and crisp texture.
