Praline can refer to confections made from nuts and sugar syrup whether in whole pieces or a ground powder or to any chocolate cookie containing the ground powder or nuts. Belgian pralines (often called Belgian chocolate) are different; they consist of a hard chocolate shell with a softer sometimes liquid filling. French pralines are a combination of almonds and caramelized sugar. American pralines also contain milk or cream and are therefore softer and creamier resembling fudge.
