    Yes, I like it.......have no idea where the name's from but some of the replies helped me find out!!

    funny thing......I LOVE LOVE butter pecan ice cream,and one day a BIG LIGHT went off over my head......why, I said to myself, 'this is really butterscotch with nuts"...

    so now I love it even more!!!

    gee what a revelation that was for me.............

    only took me 75 years to figure it out..........LOL   :-D

    love it though!!!!!!!!!  and the sauce over vanilla ice cream.........ummmmmmmmm
