Few confections evoke the rich, comforting flavors of the South like pecan pralines. A delightful blend of buttery caramel and crunchy pecans, this treat holds a special place in both history and hearts. At Lammes Candies, we’ve perfected the art of crafting this timeless indulgence and put our own stamp on this tasty treasure. 

 

What Makes Pecan Pralines Special?

You may ask, “What is a Praline”? The secret to the irresistible flavor of pecan pralines lies in their simplicity. Quality pecans are gently roasted to enhance their natural nuttiness, then coated in a smooth mixture of sugar, butter, and cream. The result is a glossy, sweet coating that clings to every nut, creating a perfectly balanced bite.

At Lammes, we took the classic concept and created our own unique version. The Chewie Pecan Praline was born. The Chewie Pecan Praline combines the silky smooth caramel filled with hearty pecans that provide a satisfying crunch while also slowly melting in your mouth. 

 

A Taste of History

Pralines have a storied history that dates back to 17th-century France. Originally created by the chef of French diplomat César de Choiseul, the praline was a simple concoction of almonds and caramelized sugar.

However, it was in the American South, particularly in New Orleans, where the praline was transformed into the beloved candy we know today. When French settlers brought the recipe to Louisiana, they adapted it using the local pecans and added cream to create a richer, creamier texture. This Southern twist on the classic French recipe gave birth to the iconic praline.

Pecan praline recipes with delicious sweet confections have been adopted and tweaked for years. Lammes took it even a step further and made it into a mouthwatering Chewie® pecan praline that we still have to this day.

Pecan Pralines or Praline Pecan? 

The difference lies in how the pecan is prepared. Pecan Pralines are our speciality at Lammes Candies. We take the finest Texans Pecans and incorporate them into a creamy, delightful bite. Whereas, praline pecans are sugar coated pecans that can be eaten alone or used as a yummy topping in a salad.
