Betcha can't eat just one.
Have a care, though, and don't treat them like potato chips. Compared with their creamy version, I prefer Leah's chewier Creole-style pralines (shown above; about $1.75), but both have a pecan-maple sweetness that stops just short of inducing a sugar high. Following taste tests throughout the Quarter, these were the pralines that found their way into my carry-on for the flight home.

Yep! They're potato chips in my handling. I'm a slave to pralines. I found this site - pralines.com - and I can't help but to order and order.
