While both involve pecans coated with a sweet layer, the specific ingredients and methods can vary, resulting in different textures and flavors. Praline pecans have a crunchy, candy-like coating with a slightly brittle texture. It is made by coating pecans with a mixture of caramelized sugar, sometimes including butter and often flavored with vanilla or other flavorings. On the other hand, glazed pecans have a smoother coating compared to praline pecans and can have a crunchy to slightly sticky or chewy texture.
