    I made this last night and it was SOOOO AMAZING! So delicious I had to make it again tonight (with a tad less sugar) Best with a bit of whipped cream on the side 🙂 Will make this regularly as a treat I think

    The first dessert I ever made in my slow cooker…absolutely Devine!
    I have a large slow cooker (5ltr) so I did the original recipe ×4 (except white sugar only 1 cup) and cooked for about 3hrs.
    Highly recommended!

    What oil do you use and what chopped nuts would you suggest in using please?

  11. Oh My Lush! I should have made. Pudding for each of us, I love how fudgey the sauce is. Definitely on the menu again. Thank You!

  12. Yum! Yum! Yum! Made this tonight & it was great! Subbed gluten free flour & it was a success. I might cut the sugar down a little next time though.

  13. Cooking this little recipe tonight after I did the from scratch Butterscotch one… and now the ‘packet mix’ just doesn’t cut it !!!
    Did substitute butter for oil as that is our preference. Will report back.

    This is actual so good! Much better than my normal recipe. Will be definitely cooking again!

  15. Katie Goodlich June 21, 2018

    Tried this last night!!! So yummy but I must have put too much of something as it rose up to lid n bubbled out a bit

  16. Works well with gluten free flour and coconut milk too. I also used coconut oil in place of regular oil. Has hubby’s stamp of approval!

    Absolutely beautiful. I doubled the recipe and used a 3.5 l sc, replacing all sugar with Splenda (in equal measures). This is an absolutely tasty and easy recipe that will remind your guests of their youth, when Mum used to make these out of a packet as a treat!

  18. Lorraine Barber October 20, 2018

    Tried this tonight
    It was beautiful and so easy to make
    Made it in my 1.5 litre SC. Only took 2 hours.

  19. This was amazing! So good and just enough for two people with leftovers for the next day. I wanted to add I used almond milk and still worked perfectly. Mine only took 2 hours on high to cook. Will Def be making again.

    Love this recipe, made it again this weekend.
    Measured all ingredients the day before, as I had a busy day planned and big kids coming for dinner.
    Took 2 minutes to put together and 2.5 hours on low to cook. Served with ice cream and cream.
    Yummy – everyone loved it.
    Thanks for an awesome recipe.

    This is yummy and so easy.
    Cooked for 2 hours in small slow cooker, added chopped walnuts to cake mix, served with vanilla ice cream and runny cream.
    Guests enjoyed it immensely.
    Thanks for another fantastic, quick and easy recipe.
