Ingredients
  

1 cup butterscotch pudding mix

2 cups whole milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

1 cup crushed toffee bits (e.g., Heath bars or similar)

1 cup crushed graham crackers

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Additional toffee bits for garnish

Optional: Chocolate shavings or curls for decoration

Instructions
 

Prepare the Butterscotch Pudding: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the butterscotch pudding mix and whole milk until the mixture is fully combined and smooth. Stir in the pure vanilla extract until evenly blended. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to allow the pudding to thicken.

    Create the Graham Cracker Crust: In a separate bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted unsalted butter. Mix well until all the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. This crumb mixture will serve as the delicious base for your pudding cups.

      Layer the Ingredients: Grab clear serving cups or small jars for layering. Start by adding about 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker crust mixture to the bottom of each cup. Press the crumbs down gently to form a compact layer.

        Add Butterscotch Pudding: Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the prepared butterscotch pudding on top of the graham cracker crust in each cup. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the top for an even layer.

          Incorporate the Whipped Topping: Add a delightful layer, about 2 tablespoons, of whipped topping over the pudding layer in each cup. Top the whipped topping with about a tablespoon of crushed toffee bits, allowing the sweetness to shine through.

            Repeat the Layering Process: Continue to layer the remaining ingredients, ensuring that each cup has an equal amount. Finish with a final layer of whipped topping, then sprinkle additional toffee bits generously on top, along with optional chocolate shavings or curls for an elegant touch.

              Chill and Serve: Cover each pudding cup with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. This chilling time allows the layers to set perfectly and the flavors to meld beautifully.

                Garnish Before Serving: Just before serving, add an extra sprinkle of toffee bits on each cup for a decorative and crunchy topping.
