Homemade Local Pecan Candy - Part 1 - Food Variety 29

Monday, February 6, 2023

I bought pecan candies from a small vendor sold at the corner of our neighborhood long time ago. He said the candies are made by himself.



Fig 01- Pecan candies on the plate


It was first time I tasted pecan candies, the special candy from Louisiana. I can not eat more than two, since they are so sweet for me, due to higher sugar content.


Based on report from SparkRecipes (2023: Calories in Pecan Pralines Candy) that calories content per serving candy (18.92 gram equal to 0.7 oz) is 131 calories. Quite higher, I think.


Bsic ingredients of pecan candy are granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, butter, salt and evaporated milk.

Pecan is a tree, native to southern parts (states) of USA such as:

- Georgia

- Alabama

- Arkansas

- Arizona

- California

- Florida

- Louisiana

Scientific name of Pecan tree is Carya illinoinensis. The trees produce nut, also called as “pecan.”
