Put Obsessed to the (Taste) Test:

More than a century ago, Aunt Sally’s opened up shop to serve the French Creole community of New Orleans. While they create traditional pralines with the crunchy texture you know and love, C + D decided to try their Creamy Praline—a softer, more preserved recipe they invented in 2000. Rating them on a scale from Obsessed to Droopy, C + D put Aunt Sally’s Creamy Bananas Fosters Pralines to a taste test. Listen to find out what they thought.
