    Butterscotch Pudding Cups

    There is something about individual desserts that makes them the CUTEST, and these butterscotch pudding cups are no exception.

    I want to take them to all of the events and showers and parties.

    Homemade pudding is also really easy to make. And all that is required for butterscotch flavoring is brown sugar, so there aren't even any special groceries needed!

    You will need to bring your A-game stirring-wise, but that is probably the hardest part.

    These pudding cups have whipped cream and chocolate shavings on them, which makes them kind of like butterscotch pie without the crust. Anytime I can eat anything reminiscent of butterscotch pie I AM THERE.

    The first time I made these pudding cups, I used our regular dessert cups (which are 10 ounces) which was... um... a lot of pudding per person. TOO MUCH pudding. 4- to 5-ounce cups are ideal. Any small cup/ramekin/jar will work. Disposable ones (like these) are nice for taking to parties!

    I should also tell you that eating these with a small spoon ups the cute factor considerably.
