A rich tradition in New Orleans, pralines were originally created in France by coating almonds in caramelized sugar. The praline, however, got its name from French soldier and sugar industrialist, Marshal du Plessis-Praslin, as it was his cook who invented it.

The recipe evolved when French settlers brought the recipe to Louisiana where chefs in New Orleans eventually began substituting pecans for almonds, and adding cream.

Very popular around the holidays, pralines come in many flavors and include several different types of nuts. It's no wonder they have their own day. Happy National Pralines Day!
