Southerners should answer this. To me "prayleens" are pecans in a stiff
caramel coating. I'm from Nevada and couldn't discern a real southern
praline with a gun to my head. I remember when my parents got sugary
pecan lumps for Christmas that were called pralines. Come to think of
it, they weren't caramel.
