Butterscotch Pecan Dessert
Light and creamy, this terrific treat never lasts long when I serve it. The fluffy cream cheese layer topped with cool butterscotch pudding is a lip-smacking combination.—Becky Harrison, Albion, Illinois

Been making this for 20 plus yearsvmy family's favorite I do butterscotch and cheesecake pudding it is so good I also use pumpkin pie spice pudding and cheesecake pudding also a big hit very easy to make
I made this exactly like the recipe instructed except I used margarine instead of real butter. I also made this using chocolate pudding, which was also yummy, but butterscotch is still my favorite. I'm making this to take for a dessert dish to a family reunion this weekend. Tasteofhome is a website that I go to often when I'm seeking a new recipe to try.
Delicious! Just like my grandma used to make for every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. It was a hit with people who don't even like butterscotch!
One of my favorite desserts and everyone I make it for. So easy to make, I just have issues with the crust everytime. Even tho I have I have that issue still live making it. Been making this for over 20 yrs!! Thanks for releasing it, we love it!!
Awesome
This is one of our most favorite recipes. i can't count the number of times i have made this.
I'm not the biggest fan of butterscotch, but this recipe was delicious. I used walnuts instead of pecans. Thanks for the great dessert!
I made this excellent recipe for a BBQ pot luck with friends. The oohs and aahs that went around the table at dessert time were plentiful and audible! I made it exactly as printed with two exceptions. My grocery store only sells the sugar-free instant butterscotch pudding mix. I reduced the amount of milk in the pudding to 2-3/4 cups. I also replaced the 1/4 cup of pecans for the topping with a crumbled Skor bar (similar to a Heath bar). Absolutely delicious to the last bite!! Thank you, Becky Harrison, for a definite winner!
One of our favorites!
This is one of my family's favorite recipes. We always make one chocolate and one butterscotch. We use quick oats in the crust instead of pecans, but we still put pecans on top.
