i have the best job ever as a stay at home mommy to three handsome young men...thanks to my hard working husband! after a full day with my boys (which i love) i can't wait for my hubby to get home so we can all sit around the table for dinner. it's a very special time for our family so i try to keep it fun and unpredictable! that is why i am on a mission to find new recipes, tweak old ones and share them with YOU!

butterscotch pudding dessert

this is unlike any butterscotch pudding that comes from a box!  this dessert is yummy and can be made the night before...one of my favorite qualities of a recipe!  and, it's made in the microwave and virtually impossible to mess up :-) enjoy!

pudding

4 c. milk & 2/3 c. milk
1/3 c. white sugar
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
3 egg yolks
3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

graham cracker layer

10-12 graham crackers, broken up (i don't crush them completely, i like a little more texture with bigger chunks)
3/4 stick butter, melted
1 c. sugar

cool whip (small)

microwave the 4 c. of milk for 5-6 minutes or until boiling.  mix other pudding ingredients in a microwavable bowl and add milk gradually, using whisk.  microwave 1 minute at a time until thickened, stirring each time you check it (i use a whisk).  let cool some, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.  *you can let it cool completely and make the dessert right away*  mix the graham cracker mix together and start layering your dessert in a glass serving dish, graham cracker crust, pudding, cool whip.  i save a little crust and sprinkle on top of cool whip for the top!
