This is a great recipe to take to those end-of-summer picnics and gatherings. It's quick to assemble, delicious to eat ... and best of all, it's gluten-free! Enjoy! :~)

Gluten-Free Butterscotch Toffee Dessert
1 c. gluten-free all-purpose flour #2 (recipe in an earlier post)
1/2 c. pecans, finely chopped (optional)
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
1 c. toffee bits (I chopped up Heath Bars), divided
2 c. cold milk
2 (3.4 oz) pkgs. instant Butterscotch pudding
1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, butter and 1/2 c. toffee bits in a bowl until well mixed; press firmly into bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Bake 10 min or until lightly browned; cool.

Pour milk into large bowl; add pudding mixes and beat with wire whisk until well blended. Spread half of mixture on crust. Gently stir half of the whipped topping into the remaining half of pudding. Spread over pudding in pan. Top with remaining whipped topping and remaining 1/2 cup of toffee bits. Refrigerate at least 3 hours. Keep cold.
