Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix melted butter, butterscotch pudding, brown sugar, milk, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Separate each can of biscuits into 10 pieces and cut each biscuit in half.
- Coat each biscuit piece with the pudding mixture.
- Spread the coated biscuit pieces evenly in a deep dish.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light. You can substitute walnuts for pecans if desired. If you don’t have butterscotch pudding, vanilla pudding works well, though the flavor will be slightly different. Ensure the biscuits are evenly coated to achieve that delightful caramelization while baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence. This dish pairs beautifully with Holiday Coffee Cake for a delightful brunch spread. For a complete meal, complement it with a fresh fruit salad on the side, balancing the sweetness with a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through and bubbly. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the texture soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuits instead of refrigerated ones?
Absolutely! If you prefer homemade biscuits, you can use your favorite recipe. Just ensure they are similar in size to the refrigerated ones for even baking. This will add a personal touch to your Butterscotch Bubble.
What should I do if I can't find butterscotch pudding?
If butterscotch pudding isn't available, vanilla pudding is a great alternative, though it will change the flavor slightly. You can also make your own butterscotch sauce from scratch to mix into the pudding for a richer taste.
Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pudding mixture and coat the biscuit pieces a few hours in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. Just remember to let them come to room temperature before baking for the best results.
