Coming from Virginia, I suppose I should love the lowly peanut. Yep, the hazelnut is just OK, pecans and almonds easily top the hazelnut I am sad to say.

Worth buying, if you run across them. Although, not sure if you can buy them individually or if you have to purchase an entire bag. I haven't seen how they are sold retail. Tripp:

Something about the molassey brown sugar coupled with the richness of the toasted pecans and a hit of salt. So, so pleasing. I could be mistaken, but Texas style, from my experience, are more chewy and less sandy than New Orleans. In any case, I prefer a sandier praline, be it Texan, New Orlean or Alabaman. Why does the hazelnut have to be our (Oregon) state nut? Weak. I belong in the South or California, as far as nut-eating is concerned (pecans and almonds rule!)

Driving across Alabama once, we stopped at a candy store and they had so many pralines and other pecan treats out for the tasting. So incredibly tasty. Sorry I can't recall enough to compare the Alabama to the Texan or New Orleans style. How was the Junior Mint Deluxe? Pralines make me so happy.
