The Pralines From Loretta’s In New Orleans Just Melt In Your Mouth
While no one is 100% certain, pralines are thought to have originated in France in the 17th century when a chef coated almonds with sugar, and the rest, as they say, is history. Over the next hundred years, milk was added to the recipe and pecans were swapped out for almonds, resulting in the pecan pralines you know and love today.
Pralines are a southern tradition, and you can find them pretty much everywhere, from gas stations to groceries stories. There’s one sensational spot in the city that’s known for having some of the best pecan pralines in New Orleans, and you’re going to want to stock up.
