"From Simple & Delicious What a yummy pie! A nice twist on tradition, and my kids loved it! The pie was sent to Taste of Home from Liz Raisig of New York City. I don't see a mistake in this, but have quit using this site because I cannot delete my posted recipes. Since the review is from a non poster, who has only left a single review I point out that I have only posted 2 recipes and am not a profesional. I have never left an unpleasant review. I hate this site now."

I made this pie and followed the directions word for word. It must have the wrong amount of milk added to the butterscotch pie filling because it was so hard to mix and it set up so hard that it was impossible to spread. Please look into the ingredients in this reipe. I am not used to making recipes that flop. Disappointed Dotty
