Praline

Praline is a sweet food made from a mixture of nuts and boiled sugar, eaten as a confection or more commonly, as an ingredient in other confections. In Europe, the nuts are usually almonds, though sometimes hazelnuts. In Louisiana and Texas, USA, pecans are the nuts almost always used.

As originally invented in France, pralines were whole almonds coated in caramelized sugar, but in most other countries the word has since come to mean a smooth paste or powder made by grinding up such sugar-coated nuts. In Germany and Belgium praline may refer to a filled chocolate of any sort. In Great Britain the term can refer either to praline (the filling for chocolates) or, less commonly, to the original whole-nut pralines.
