Ingredients
  

1 cup butterscotch pudding mix

2 cups whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

½ cup toffee bits (plus extra for topping)

¼ cup crushed graham crackers (for the crust)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pudding: In a medium mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the butterscotch pudding mix and whole milk until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Add the vanilla extract and whisk again until evenly distributed. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

    Make the Cookie Crust: In a separate bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted unsalted butter. Stir thoroughly until all the crumbs are well-coated with butter.

      Assemble the Cups: Take serving cups or glasses and add a spoonful of the graham cracker mixture at the bottom of each cup to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon to gently press down on the crust to flatten it for stability.

        Add the Pudding Layer: Carefully spoon the prepared butterscotch pudding over the graham cracker crust in each cup, filling them about halfway full.

          Incorporate Toffee: Sprinkle a layer of toffee bits evenly over the pudding layer in each cup. Reserve a handful of toffee bits for garnishing at the end.

            Whip the Cream: In another mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. This will give you a light, fluffy whipped cream.

              Top the Cups: Using a piping bag or a spoon, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of the butterscotch pudding in each cup. Create a swirl or peak for visual appeal.

                Finish and Decorate: Sprinkle the reserved toffee bits over the whipped cream for an extra crunchy texture. For an optional twist, drizzle some caramel sauce over the whipped cream to enhance sweetness and decoration.

                  Chill and Serve: Place the pudding cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled and indulge in this delightful treat!
