Where it comes from

Borrowed from French praline.

noun pralines

countable, uncountable A confection made from almonds and other nuts, caramelized sugar, and sometimes milk or cream. A typical praline is roundish, about three inches in diameter and a half-inch thick. The taste is faintly regressive, reminiscent of the pleasure to be found in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich when one is ravenously hungry.
