Everyone knows the term. Everyone has tried one. But what exactly are pralines? If you simply ask someone on the street, you will surely get answers like "small", "bite-sized", "chocolaty" and "with alcohol". But by definition it looks like this:
A praline is described as a bite-sized product made of chocolate in which the chocolate content is at least 25 percent. The filling of a praline largely determines its taste. Such a filling can consist of ganache, nougat, nuts, pistachios, liqueurs, marzipan or fruit.
If a chocolate product has less than 25 percent chocolate or couverture, it is called a "confectionery".
