History Of PralinesLegend has it that pralines were invented in the 17th century by Lassagne, chef to the Compte du Plessis-Praslin (1589-1675), minister to Louis XIII and Louis XIV of France. By accident or design, Lassagne combined caramel and almonds to create a delicious confection that became known as "praslin" after the Compte du Plessis-Praslin, and from which the eventual name praline is derived.It is believed that pralines were first carried to New Orleans, Louisiana by French settlers who substituted local pecans for the almonds to create the distinctive Southern praline confection that's loved today.
