I was apprehensive about trying this recipe because there were no ratings, but went ahead with it anyway. It turned out delicious! As good as a cheesecake you get at the coffee shop!! The toffee bits melt right into the cheese and give it a great subtle flavor-next time I'll layer big chunks of a Heath bar in the crust to make it even more interesting. I'll make this all the time!
This was delicious and memorable! I took it to a family gathering for Thanksgiving and one of my cousin requested it for his birthday treat in March! I bought a package of the heath bar bits instead of crushing the bars on my own. I sprinkled the leftovers on top of the cheesecake and then topped with stripes of melted chocolate (I used Hershey's bars).
I think this is a wonderful quality recipe. I tried to do a water bath but didn't have any pans big enough so I just put another pan of water in the oven to steam during cooking...it worked! No cracks at all!:) I did have some people say it was a little too sweet or too rich for their liking but after the fact I noticed that I'd accidentally used the King Size 2.8 oz. toffee bars instead of 1.4 oz. essentially DOUBLING the amount of candy bar the recipe called for--oops! For someone like me who likes things very sweet and decadent it was perfect but I just want to warn everyone else to pay better attention to the actual size of candy you're buying as opposed to just the number of bars. A suggestion I was given was to do a layer of just plain cheesecake mixture (before adding the crushed toffee bar bits) and then having the richer toffee-cheesecake blend on top of that...but that could have been because my mistake made the cake richer than that particular person would have liked. No matter what I thought it was wonderful so it's a 5 star recipe for me! Also after making it and refrigerating for a few hours I opened up the springform pan to make sure nothing had stuck (it hadn't) tightened it again and covered tightly with foil...I left it in the freezer for 4 days before thawing in the fridge the day before serving. I don't think ANYONE would've known that it wasn't freshly made...very impressive. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!:)
My crust was a little soggy but some water may have leaked in from the water bath. However even with that little snafu it still tasted absolutely delicious. I used Skor candy bars and crushed them as finely as possible but it was actually nice to get a little chunk of Skor in a bite. The directions for the water bath really worked -- no cracking! I'm definitely going to make this again.
Delicious! I followed all of the instructions exactly except for putting it in a water bath and it did quite nicely. Drizzling chocolate and caramel syrups on the top and adding more Heath pieces added a nice touch too.
I just tried this cheesecake it was easy to make but was not one of the best ones I ever had.
I made this cheesecake for my boyfriend's mentor's birthday. He is a former world traveler and has eaten rich desserts in five-star restaurants all over the world and swore that this was by far the most delicious cheesecake he had ever eaten in his life. I felt the same way and everyone else attending agreed. I absolutely love this recipe and will make it again and again.
This cheesecake sounded so good, but i was disappointed with the final product. There are way to many eggs in the recipe. It came out tasting like a sweet quiche more than a cheesecake...
Yum yum yum! This cheesecake is amazing and so easy to make. I have adjusted the recipe to my liking however. I use 3 bricks of cream cheese and 3 eggs. Also I add an extra heath bar or two in the mix and add more on top along with drizzled chocolate and caramel. It is so good. I have made it quite a few times now and it has been requested on several occassions. Don't hesitate to make this based on other reviews it is good!
