for chocolate or vanilla pudding with corn starch i'd
not put the butter in as you can't really taste it plus
i don't want the extra salt. Mom will put butter in
things because she really likes butter. i mean to the
point of putting butter on crackers before she puts
pate' on them or putting butter on a peanut butter
sandwich. uhg. no thanks! too much for me.
