Not the best butterscotch pie recipe. Had trouble getting to set up. Follwed recipe pretty closely.But to no avail...8 hrs in fridge and it's still loose. It may be me but that just seems like to much milk for the rest of the ingredients.

This was a hit! I added some chopped almond slices with the butterscotch pieces as decoration on the top as well!
