Me either. Have you?

Jane made two of these for a party--the crust is delicious (tasting a spare piece), but a bit*h to make--really labor intensive--filling is very good--we will not do again.

Do you want my butterscotch pie recipe? Actually it is my MIL's. It is, and has been for years, my husband's favorite dessert. It was his birthday pie for many years.
There is not a man in my neighborhood that doesn't love this pie!

And I can recommend Laura's recipe! We loved it, but then we like anything with butterscotch or caramel flavors.

Thanks Maryann! We are partial to butterscotch, carmel, and toffee flavors too. Love it!
A few months ago my MIL made this recipe and accidentally bought cinnamon-sugar graham crackers to make the crust. Wow, the hint of cinnamon in the crust was really, really good. The result of this accident was wonderful.

Don't think I've ever made a butterscotch pie.... sounds good.
