Dive into a bag of Elizabeth's Extraordinary Praline Pecans!  Fresh from North Carolina, these perfect praline pecans come in a gold foil bag and are mouth-wateringly delicious!  What is a praline you ask?  Well, here is a bit of history... Pralines were first made in France more than 200 years ago. During the 17th century, a count named Cesar de Plessis Praslin created this candy as a calling card when courting famous women in France. He made it by boiling nuts in sugar, and it later became popular confection.  In his day, the praline was made with almonds because they were the most prevalent nut in France.  When French colonists came to Louisiana, native pecans were substituted for the almonds that were typically used to make the caramel-coated confections.  When the French settled in New Orleans, they began using pecans because they were more plentiful. The Louisiana Creoles added milk to the recipe, resulting in a creamier candy.  The rest is gourmet history.
