There are different types of pralines; one is a variety of sugar candy, the American type, whist similar, resembles fudge in texture as it also uses milk or cream, there is a type of chocolate cookie, or biscuit and there is also the Belgian praline.
Both types contain nuts; the sugar candy is made using whole or powdered nuts and sugar syrup, whilst the second variety contains either whole or powdered nuts.
Praline is believed to have been created in France in the 17th century and were originally whole almonds that were coated in caramelised sugar. Almonds are not the only nuts used to make pralines, as others, such as pecans, are also used. Praline is used as a filling in many chocolates.
Another variety is Belgian pralines, which are chocolates that are filled with a fondant centre.
