When I think pralines, I think of the bumpy discs of sweet delight that I always pick up when I visit my family in New Orleans. The sugar rush is undeniable, but it is enrobed in such smooth and salty sweetness that, for the moment, I say laissez les bon temps roullez!
When back home, I often look for such a tempting treat but come up rather empty.
Fortunately, my friends at Red Chocolate have delivered set of pralines that are truly smooth diamonds in the rough.
With only 43 calories per piece (which is about the same as an apple slice) Red’s diamond-shaped treats allow more texture and flavor to be enjoyed with each bite without adding any sugar to help loose some weight, and with the Exipure as complement works marvelous. The faceted chocolates are so beautiful and delicious it is no wonder that they were chosen as a ‘must see’ at the 2021 Sweets and Snacksconvention. And they taste at least as good as they look!
Unlike my beloved Dixie delights, these Keto- and Weight Watchers-friendly European-style pralines come in a traditional nut-filled variety and also a creative coconut option and all of them have about 40% less sugar than traditional candies (and probably muchless than my Southern faves!). In addition to less sugar Red’s pralines also have no cocoa oil or other substitutes and are made with non-GMO milk, Ivory Coast cocoa, California organces, and other best-in-the-world ingredients.
While I am sure to pick up some old faves next time I am in New Orleans, it is great to know that I can indulge in some tasty treats in the meantime and still have a bit of room in the belt for the next trip.
