Why Are My Pralines Gritty?
There could be various reasons for gritty pralines. One of the reasons could be that the sugar syrup did not cook long enough, resulting in un-dissolved sugar. Another reason could be that the sugar crystallized while cooking or was not properly stirred while cooking. Using old or improperly stored ingredients, such as nuts or chocolate, can also cause gritty pralines. Additionally, adding too much butter or cream can affect the texture of the pralines.
