The texture was slightly grainy, but that could have been my mistake. The reason for the 2 stars is that I was disappointed that this recipe did not taste like butterscotch. The flavor was all right... but it was more like a brown sugar pudding than a butterscotch pudding. Thanks anyway, out of here!

i was hungry for a sweet snack and looking for something quick. having just learned that 2/5 of the chocolate we eat comes from plantations that use slave labor (zoiks) i thought, 'uh...how about butterscotch??'. this recipe was quick, simple and absolutely delicious. everyone in my house is smacking their lips over it. this is one i will make again and again. i can't believe how yummy. there were a few other recipes on here that looked a wee bit simpler, but after making this i can tell you that it's really as easy as can be, super quick and worth way more than the time it takes to make it. look no further. this is it!
