What it is

Pecan pralines are a type of confection made from pecans and sugar. The sugar is typically cooked with butter and cream to create a caramel-like syrup, into which the pecans are mixed. The mixture is then dropped onto parchment paper or a greased surface to cool and harden.

Why it's used

Pecan pralines are primarily used as a sweet confection or dessert item. They are also incorporated into other foods to add a sweet, nutty flavor and a crunchy or chewy texture, commonly found in ice cream, baked goods, and snack bars.

Health notes

Pecan pralines are a sugar-based confection and contribute calories and sugar to the diet. The FDA considers sugar to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for its intended use as a sweetener. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various sugars and sweeteners, setting guidelines for their use. High intake of added sugars is linked by health organizations to increased risk of weight gain and chronic diseases.

Allergen info

Pecan pralines contain tree nuts (pecans), which are one of the nine FDA major food allergens. They may also contain milk and butter, which are also major allergens.
