This is definitely a delish dessert. My daughter loved it! Nice and creamy, and a yummy taste. Thanks, Mainaic for the post.

Very good! Thanks for the recipe. I had a craving for my Acadian grandmother's butterscotch pie, so I tried this recipe - it's not quite the same, but very good and took care of my craving, ;)

My husband loved this. I added heath bar chips that I bought in a bad to the bottom and top of the pie. I found it to be a little mushier than I would have liked even after being in the fridge for a day. But otherwise, it was great! Thanks!

This was really good. Although I was expecting it to be goldenrod yellow or something. :lol: Thank you!
