    Toffeetastic Girl Scout Cookie Recipe

    Mr B and I had the honor of being part of a Girl Scout Cookie Bake-off a few cookie seasons ago. Competition in event was open to any Girl Scout from our community.

    As a lover of all things caramelly and butterscotchy, this Toffeetastic Butterscotch Mud Pie was our personal favorite entry in the contest. My insider source (i.e., Mr B) tells me that it had a great chance to be the overall winner, but ended up coming in fourth because of poor pudding execution: the texture was just too grainy for the judges' tastes. Flavor-wise though, it was delicious.

    Butterscotch Pudding Tips

    Granular consistency in homemade butterscotch pudding is a common, tricky challenge. It can be avoided by (a) being patient as you whisk in the cream, (b) tempering the cornstarch mixture, and (c) whisking continually as the mixture reaches a boil. You can make the pudding even smoother by straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. For more complete directions about how to make super-smooth butterscotch pudding, check out this great post on TheKitchn.com
