Praline bit (5)
I believe the answer is:
pecan
'praline bit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for pecan that I've seen before include "Smooth pinkish-brown nut, nice in pie" , "Nutty type" , "of nuts" , "Edible nut like a smooth walnut" , "US nut tree" .)
