Pralines, derived from the French pralin candy, are particularly popular in New Orleans. Early Creoles began using pecans as the nuts, instead of the almonds or hazelnuts used in the French candy. They're cooked to a soft-ball stage like a brown sugar fudge, but filled with pecans and spooned onto wax paper to form patties.
Bourbon balls, an easy no-bake candy, probably originated in Kentucky sometime in the early to mid 1900s. They're usually made with crushed vanilla wafers and bourbon, but other liquors can be used.
