    This review is for pralines purchased at the Café Du Monde on Veterans Boulevard. I don't know if these pralines are old or if this is the way they are supposed to taste, but they are the absolute worst pralines I have purchased in New Orleans - ever! I was at Café Du Monde getting, of course, a hot drink and fresh beignets when I decided to purchase some pralines for my daughter. I had to wait 5 to 10 minutes before they could find three of them and agreed to take one café au lait praline in place of the other 'chewy' praline. Well, I THOUGHT I was getting chewy pralines. Instead, I have a hard block of solid granulated sugar with pecans throughout. It is absolutely inedible. At $2.25 a praline it's rather expensive garbage. There are numbers on the back that I can only assume are production or 'made on' dates or expiration dates. I hope for the sake of Evans Creole Candy Factory that it was the expiration date. The café au lait praline has '17219' and the original creole praline (I thought I was getting the chewy ones) have '17220'. So, bottom line is if you like hard granular pralines then these are the ones for you! If you, like me, like chewy pralines with the sugar blended in well then these are not for you - look elsewhere. Don't walk, run!

    Hands down the best pralines. They are not overly sweet like the other places I've tasted. There is something special about these pralines and I don't know exactly what it is. There is almost a subtle vanilla flavor that is in each praline. My favorite was the peanut butter praline followed by the original. They also have samples available.

    08/10/2011 - 04:31 pm Two days in New Orleans, I've seen plenty of shops with various Pralines(pronounced Prah-leans) which is a sugary Caramel with Pecans(pronounced Peck-ons). I wasn't much interested in getting a taste but Evans seemed quite open spacious shop along French Market, one of which I felt comfortable walking around without feeling my bag might knockdown a whole slew of Tourist overpriced knik-knaks. In many shops, please walk with caution possibly knocking over handle-with-care items. Rum Creamy Praline($1.90) Candied Nuts, Yum! Soft-ish non-brittle-like creamy caramel confection. More alongs the soft melt-in-your-mouth consistency of Fudge than the hard crisp that it looks like. I did wish that the Pecans stood out more but eating sugar is always easy and I wouldn't mind more RUM either. Surprisingly not as sweet as I imagine the candy would be and a smile/service from the Girl staff would be even sweeter. Maybe she was Yelp talking on her Iphone which I wouldn't mind as much being a secondary thought. 2.5'd

    Stopped here to give their pralines a try. They had all different kinds of flavors which was nice and better options than Aunt Sally's next door in my opinion. But I didnt enjoy the texture and taste as much as I did with Aunt Sally's.

    Check your health at the door, because Evans is offering a one stop diabeetus shop. All ranting aside , the maple cookies are amazing. These praline shops are a dime a dozen, but this location makes their own products on site - which is a plus. I don't think there is too much to say but I will add that the dessert coffee smells amazing and they will grind it for you.
