Although they are shaped and look a bit like cookkies, they are candy.
After the nuts, they contain two kinds of sugar and a bit of syrup --
some recipes may vary. It's sugar candy. Yes, just like those maple
thingies.

The "praline" name is also used in syrups, cake frostings, etc., that
may use nuts and sugars -- just representing trhe same essential taste.

In my book, they're nothing to write home about, or take home.

Now, if you buy the fudge in New Orleans, that's worth it. Of course,
it's the same as fudge anywhere else in the world.
