Indulge in the delightful Butter Crunch Pudding, a classic dessert that combines creamy vanilla pudding with a crispy, caramelized topping. This irresistible treat features a rich vanilla pudding base, made with milk, sugar, cornstarch, eggs, and butter, that is cooked to perfection until thick and smooth. The star of the show is the butter crunch topping, a mixture of butter, sugar, and vanilla extract that is cooked until golden brown and poured over the pudding. As the topping cools, it forms a shatteringly crisp layer that adds a delightful textural contrast to the creamy pudding. This recipe also includes a variation for a chocolate butter crunch pudding, where the vanilla pudding is replaced with chocolate pudding, resulting in a decadent and indulgent dessert. Additionally, there's a section dedicated to alternative toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, and chopped nuts, allowing you to customize your butter crunch pudding to your liking.

Steps:
- To make the butter crunch mixture, melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, stir in almonds, and pour out into prepared pan, spreading the mixture with the back of a spoon to fill the pan. Before the butter crunch hardens, but when it is firm enough to handle, turn it out onto a large parchment-covered cutting board and peel away the foil. Allow the butter crunch to cool completely. To finish the butter crunch, wipe the top surface of the candy with a damp paper towel to remove excess butter and allow to dry a few minutes. Have another cutting board or the back of a jelly-roll pan ready to turn the candy over onto. Use a small offset metal icing spatula to spread half the tempered chocolate quickly over the butter crunch. Scatter half the chopped almonds over the chocolate. Cover this finished surface with a piece of parchment paper or foil and place another cutting board or the back of a large jelly-roll pan. Remove top board and paper and quickly spread with remaining tempered chocolate and scatter on remaining almonds (it isn't necessary to wipe the second side because it wasn't against a buttered surface). Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set chocolate. Break the butter crunch into 2-inch pieces. Store candy in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover and keep at a cool room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
- Use unsalted butter: Salted butter can make the pudding too salty. If you only have salted butter on hand, omit the added salt in the recipe.
- Don't overcook the pudding: The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools, so err on the side of undercooking it. If you overcook it, the pudding will be too thick and rubbery.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to prevent the pudding from scorching. If you don't have a heavy-bottomed saucepan, you can use a regular saucepan, but be sure to stir the pudding constantly.
- Let the pudding cool completely before serving: This will allow the pudding to set and firm up.
- Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings: Whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit are all great options.
Conclusion:
Butter Crunch Pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, buttery texture and crunchy toffee bits, this pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give Butter Crunch Pudding a try!
