Kentucky Cream Pull Candy (Old-Fashioned Holiday Favorite)

Tips for Success

• Humidity matters: Avoid making this candy on rainy or very humid days. Moisture in the air can affect the texture and cause it to turn sticky or grainy.
• Use a reliable candy thermometer: Temperature is everything in candy making. Make sure your thermometer is calibrated and accurate.
• Butter everything: From your work surface to your hands and tools, butter helps keep the candy manageable and prevents sticking during the pulling process.
• Work quickly: The candy must be pulled while warm and shaped before it becomes too firm to manipulate.

This old-fashioned pull candy is a labor of love, but the creamy texture and delicate sweetness are well worth the effort. It’s a true Kentucky holiday tradition and a standout addition to any candy platter. 🍬✨
