In a mixing bowl big enough to hold both your prepared vanilla pudding and cake mix, mix together until completely combined. It will be a very thick batter.
Spoon your cake mix mixture into a lightly greased 6 quart slow cooker or casserole crock pot and spread it out with the center a little lower than the edges. (It is paramount that you know that your slow cooker does not cook hot. If it does, the outside edges will burn before the middle is done cooking.)
Sprinkle the butterscotch chips and pecan pieces evenly across the top of your batter.
Cover and cook on high for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 2 hours and 15 minutes, turning your insert halfway through cooking. It is done when the center is set.
Use oven mitts to remove your insert and place it on a hot pad to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Make sure you are using a crock pot that does not cook hot. In a crock pot that cooks hot, the edges will burn before the center can finish baking.
