The New Orleans School of Cooking<\/a><\/strong> is just across the street from Johnny’s Po-Boys<\/a>, so after lunch at Johnny’s we headed there to get some pralines.  While the New Orleans School of Cooking is an actual school that offers demonstration and hands-on cooking classes<\/a>, our mule-carriage tour<\/a> guide had pointed it out to us as a place where to get pralines, another New Orleans specialty. 

Pralines<\/a><\/strong> are sweet confections of nuts in a caramelized sugar base.  In France, these are rather hard, closer to brittle and typically based on almonds. In America, pralines are made with a combination of sugar, butter and cream, milk or half and half and typically pecan based.  They are closer to a nutty fudge than a candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Orleans School of Cooking makes their pralines on site, and they generously offer you samples.  They have both plain and a chocolate kind.  I preferred the plain but they were too sweet for my taste. I also didn’t really like how soft they were.  We bought a couple, but I never actually felt tempted to eat them.  Still, if you like fudge and pecans, you’ll probably like them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
