BETTY PENDLEY` from PALMETTO, FLORIDA

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER MADE HOME MADE BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING, AND, I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY BOXED BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING! THIS RECIPE IS WONDERFUL! IT IS EASY TO MAKE & IT IS DELICIOUS!
quick and easy!

celeste serrano from Lancaster, PA

had my little girls girlfriend over so i wanted something that most 8 yr olds like. Very quick and easy! I made 2 diffrent batches butterscotch and chocolate. Instead of sugar I used 1/3 c of agave nectar and 4T of cocoa for the 2nd batch and I love it!
Thank you so very much.

Vicky Purnhagen from Dayton, OH

I'm not sure how many people rate a recipe before trying it, but when I was a child my Mother used to make this from scratch for me. She passed away when I was only 14yrs. old. I am now 60 years young and I can still taste her special treat she made for me from her heart. When I saw this, it brought back such good heart full memories. Your ingredients are the same as hers. I can't wait to make this for my dear grandkids, I know they will love it as much as I and I will have a good story to tell as they eat it!

Old-Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding

elizabeth tierney from MARTINS FERRY, OH

Wow! I had an empty baked pie shell I wanted to fill. I cooked the pudding in the microwave .Poured it right in the pie shell. Sprinkled the top with Nestle's Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Morsels. Didn't have any whipped topping, but didn't need it. A tip here,....If you use DARK brown sugar, you will get a more intense butterscotch flovor. Extremely satisfying.
Can't Have Enough of This Pudding

I made 2 kinds of pudding the other night, chocolate and butterscotch. This one was the hands down favorite. A nice consistency and flavor.

This pudding is one of my families favorites, made with Carnation Milk it so creamy and delicious, and you can't fail with it either. The simple ingreidents are usually on hand, and with the low sugar content I feel that we can have this special treat and not ruin our diets.

Ol-Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding

Vickie Engle from JEWETT, TX

This was excellent. I was craving butterscotch pudding, but all the store had was instant pudding. (It just doesn't cut it.) I found this recipe to be wonderful and it was so easy. It hit the spot.
A New Favorite

Lynn Curtis from GAYVILLE, SD

My husband loves butterscotch pudding and I had always made it from box mixes. I decided to try this recipe and I was so pleased with it. My husband couldn't believe how good it was. I was a little nervous about trying it as I had heard homemade puddings were difficult to get right, but this was really easy. I'll never go back to boxed pudding again.
quick and tasty

TRACEY STYLIANOU from ASTORIA, NY

This recipe is as quick to make as instant pudding, however the taste cannot be compared to instant pudding.

Old Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding

Sandy Garver from Rockwell, NC

I liked this recipe also. When I make it again I think I will use dark brown sugar instead of the light. I believe the flavor will be more butterscotchey.
Old-fashioned Butterscotch Pudding

Carol Zander from Westfield, MA

This pudding had a nice light and creamy consistency, but it lacked a strong butterscotch taste. I was looking for something like the old-fashioned boxed taste of butterscotch, and this recipe didn't have a strong enough flavor for me.
NO MORE BOXES

Kerry Malpica from Markleville, IN

This pudding was easy to make and light and delightful! I'll never go back to boxed!
Complex instructions yield simple dessert

susan campbell from grass lake, MI

I left out the water, the second time I prepared this pudding, and got a much richer result. I also skip the whipped cream. For a little added color, I toss a handful of mini-marshmallows on top of the warm pudding. When they melt, they are one more point the kids love about this pudding.

CHERYL ZORTMAN from York, PA

Very very good recipe and really easy to prepare. I sent this recipe to all my friends that have a hard time in the kitchen.
No More Boxed Pudding!

Jeri Haley from Tenino, WA

Like the contributor said, you won't go back to boxed pudding. This pudding is so good, easy to make and brings back memories of warm kitchens with family and friends, and it smells soooo good when you are cooking it. It reminds me of when my mom would make pudding for dessert for after dinner. Great recipe and thanks to the contributor for another idea for everyday cooking for family. GREAT! A+++++++++ Would make a great butterscotch pie too which I am going to do soon. Husband loves butterscotch pudding and I almost didn't get any afer he took his first bite.

no more pudding boxes for me!

diane badeau from Charlesbourg, PQ

I love butterscotch!!!, so this I thought was a greatrecipe when I found it. Then I made it sunday when my 23 year old daughter was here, we waited for it to cool off a bit and then we started tasting and stopped when half of the bowl was in our stomachs, my daughter thought that it tasted a bit like sweetened condensed milk and begged me to make a bowl just for her this week. Thank you for a nice Sunday afternoon with my daughter and a good recipe that will always be near.
i remember when.................

Mmmm Mmmm Good!

Christine from Waco, TX

This pudding was so creamy and wonderful, you must try it. I would however, double or even triple the recipe; as it stands it is barely enough for my husband and I. It is too good just to have a little taste.
Better than the boxed

Tina Quinn from Windsor Locks, CT

My 10-year-old and I made this recipe for dessert one day. It was very easy to make and tasted great. Rather than buy the boxed pudding mix, my family would prefer this recipe.
