Sounds like a good recipe, but I am trying to do without sugar, I wonder if something healthier could be substituted and if it would still be delicious.

Just cut smaller pieces.  Sugar is not the bad guy some of the other chemical substitutes are.

Not one of my favorite flavors-butterscotch, but I did have to check out the recipe! (Had a fabulous almond flavored tiramisu last night at dinner.)

Yes  Will Hamm ,  we could save this Butterscotch dessert for our '7th' day each week.  AND extra whipping cream on mine! Like you, Elyse Berman, and many others,  I am trying to eat healthier, also....  on the Paleo Plan.   But,..... I printed it!

Will Hamm In my pre-Sandy life, yes , I did crave treats like this, but I left the 'Dark Side' thanks to Sandy. I could turn into a real blimpo eating this treat!
