We went to the Perth Royal Show this week jay

and B1 chose the abovementioned showbag. It contained normal kitkat chocolates but also another kitkat which had a brown wrapper instead of the usual red. Not sure why 5doh

but B1 ATE the bar without hesitation unbeknown to me... m_ad

I came across a second chocolate [same one as she'd eaten] and when I read the ingredients, it stated PRALINE saywha

so I mentioned this to B1 and she said she'd eaten one like it already eek

WTF? Now, my understanding of the word 'praline' is that it is nut related... so why did B1 show no sign of a reaction??? ra_nt

On our fridge 5doh

is the form for B1 to have her RAST [only been on the fridge for nearly 5 months! :crazy

] so I'm going to ensure she has the blood test this week... results could be interesting.... letsgo

praline is pretty common http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praline my understanding of it is that it's sort of a nut and sugar paste I've seen it quite a few times on chocolate labels.....

couple in particular that come to mind http://www.cadbury.com.au/Products/Bloc ... arble.aspx = Cadbury marble chocolate contains

hazelnut praline centre

(I always remember that one as I almost got caught out with it once as it used to be many, many years ago just a marble of white and dairy choc.....

and these.... http://www.guylian.be/en/products/boxed ... -original/

There are all made of the finest Belgian chocolate filled with the delicious Guylian roasted hazelnut praliné

Kinder chocolates when I was a child used to make one with a Praline filling and I think in more recent years the Kinder Bueno had it so the Kinder range is a big one to be aware of as it is such a kid chocolate!

I think also some of the Lindt chocolate range has praline filling. Also seen it/or similar listed as "hazelnut cream filling" or "almond cream filling"

Should also always watch nougat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nougat there is quite a few nougat containing chocolates I can eat e.g. mars bar but nougat as per wikepidia's description

Quote:

is a term used to describe a variety of similar traditional confectioneries made with sugar or honey, roasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios, or hazelnuts are common), and sometimes chopped candied fruit

Thanks for that! Interesting... Kinder have been known to definitely include hazelnut stuff in their 'special events' chocolates. 5doh

I thought praline was a kind of sugary, toffee like substance (but quite often mixed with nuts)??
