I loved this recipe. It is really hard to find a good butterscotch pudding recipe and this one is great. I use it for my homemade pies and they are always gone in a blink. I give this recipe a 10 out of 10!!!!!!!

I made this for our SuperBowl "pig out" desert. I used light brown sugar, which I prefer, and it was SO delicious! It tasted more like creme bruele than butterscotch, but that was OK with my family! It is high in calories, but I cannot belive that fat free milk made a creamy pudding! For an occasional treat this is wonderful. My children and husband loved it! I doubled it for my crowd, and added some graham cracker crumbs for a topping. Just great!

I have made this about 3 times and I am amazed by it. This tastes so good with out calling for whole milk. My family loves it and it is so easy to make. I always have the ingredients it calls for on hand since they are all staples.

Wonderful recipe! I didn't have any dark brown sugar, so used light brown sugar and a tablespoon of molasses - turned out great. No more boxed pudding mix for me!

Trying to watch the calories. This makes a romantic dessert without consuming major calories.

Made this for dinner one night when 2 of my daughters and a granddaughter were here. It was enjoyed by all.

I made this for dessert last night and found it to be quick, easy, and very good. I used the 2 serving recipe and it was just the right amount for the two of us.

Very easy to make and tasty dessert. We didn't miss the color, nor the food coloring of our usual pudding.
