Not the artificially-sweetened one, but the real one, is not going to be sold in stores anymore, but will be available through online sites like Amazon, etc. They have a new not so good flavor out that I guess is made to appeal to the Hispanic population called Carmel and there is the cook and serve Flan flavor. If you like this, scour your markets for the last of it. It's two fucking dollars a box on Amazon for the 4 serving size; half that at regular price in stores; half of that regular price in some stores that are discontinuing it.

 

That's life. Maybe if they relabeled it "dulce de leche"... 
 
 

 

I haven't has butterscotch pudding in a very long time!   I love it too!

 

According to their website, it looks like Walmart *shudders* has it in stock.   I'm going to have to go stock up!

 

Thanks for the info Tom!
 
No Brand's Butterscotch Tastes Like Jell-O's

I must confess that I do not eat it as pudding. I lightly sprinkle it on vanilla frozen yogurt and then skim the thinnest layer of the dusted yogurt with a spoon and savor the molecules of flavor while believing, or trying to, that the active cultures are somehow beneficial. This is best done with one's private carton of yogurt.  I found 27 boxes in one store today after finding 6 in another branch, and all at half price which makes it all the sweeter. I will be on the prowl tomorrow. I am going to throw the boxes in the freezer to prevent any of those wonderful chemicals from going off in any way. The pudding collection will probably outlast me.  Another thing for my precious sister to deal with. The food pantry will have to send a large truck.
 
and...

Generally, it's a softer form of toffee that comprises butter and brown sugar(treacle) in some form.

 

The word seems to derive from the practice of scoring the cooling mass, as one does for toffee, while it's still warm so when it cools, it can be broken cleanly as one would cut and snap glass. According to pastry chef/author Shuna Fish Lydon: "Historically, butterscotch was a hard candy made with unprocessed sugar. The suffix “scotch” means “to cut”. When sugar or candy is hot it’s difficult to get a clean break, so one must score it while warm to facilitate getting a clean edge later."

Cook's magazine did a wonderful article on scratch-made butterscotch pudding one or two years ago. It's easy to find if you Google it.

also has the scratch butterscotch pudding I posted from the GE Microwave Cookbook, just saying, and it's not much more difficult than the cook type Jell-O mix.

I'd link to the recipe if I knew how..........

Was in my local Meijer's the other day, they had a shelf full of Butterscotch - both instant and cook type.  I bought 1 box to try...

 

when I want pudding I make a quick cooked chocolate in the microwave.  It's 3-2-1 pudding.

 

3T. sugar

2T. cocoa

1T cornstarch

blend into 1c. milk, microwave for 3 minutes, until thick.  cool and enjoy.
 
That's great, but as I said, I don't use it as pudding, I simply sprinkle it on top of vanilla frozen yogurt like a condiment. Also, I found some more boxes in a bag of dry goods that I did not unpack so the total is higher.
 
Tom,

 

I am so happy that you've amassed a lifetime supply of butterscotch pudding.  My grandma loved it.
