Ingredients

Made this recipe yesterday, following directions even though I wondered about adding nutmeg. The pudding was OK. I don't think I would ever add nutmeg to a butterscotch pudding again.

I had to throw it away, it was so sweet it is sickening. Very bad recipe!!! I wasted all those ingredients because i doubled it but followed the recipe exactly!!!! Very disappointed!!

I just had to review this since it was such a disappointment :-( I followed the directions to a T and before I got to the step to add the eggs, it burned horribly!! What a mess! It looked good, sounded easy and I've made homemade puddings many times so I don't know what the problem was.

I liked this pudding but I didn't love it. It was a little too sweet for me.

I had a bag of dark brown sugar in my cupboard and was wondering what I was going to do with it. Got excited when I found this recipe. Very easy to make and very good. Loved that I had all the ingredients on hand. May never buy butterscotch pudding at the store again!
