Old fashioned candy is the best! I love surprising friends and family with homemade candy during the holidays and these Buttermilk Pecan Pralines is one of my favorites! Ultra smooth and creamy and oh-so decadent, it's everyone's favorite treat!

I love making candies during the holidays. I make them for parties, I make them for gifts, and of course I love to have a wide variety of goodies for my guests on Christmas. Pralines have long been one of my very favorite candies. They are ultra creamy and decadent and are made with my favorite nut – pecans!

This is one of my very favorite recipes for pralines because it calls for buttermilk which makes a WORLD of difference in these sweet candies.
