Butter makes everything better!  Unsalted Challenge Butter is the perfect buttery addition to this sauce. Churned fresh daily from happy cows, this butter is made the old-fashioned way with no preservatives, hormones, or dyes. Using fresh quality ingredients like Challenge Butter ensures great flavor.

Other ingredients include eggs and evaporated milk (for a moist custard-like texture) and crushed crackers.

Saltines or buttery round crackers hold up perfectly as part of the filling and add a crisp topping.
