When I have made this dessert I have only used melted butter flour & the pecan pieces for the crust and have always used 2 different kinds of pudding.
This cake has been made in our family for years. Instead of using butterscotch I use one box of instant vanilla pudding and one instant box of chocolate along with the same amount of milk.. YUM!
This timeless recipe has been around such a long time (I ve been making this since the early 70s!) not just because it s easy and versatile but because it s awesome good. It also serves an army!
