Do you collect recipes? Here's one I've had for many years. I think I tore it out of an old magazine just because of the name, I didn't even like buttermilk at the time. A lot has changed.Buttermilk Bark
I've given Buttermilk Bark as part of my holiday candy box gifts, and it goes great as a tangy creamy side to chocolate fudge. 
Confession: sometimes I purposely break some of them too small so I "have" to eat them myself. :D
