Phew – finals are done, and I’m finally home as of yesterday afternoon.Typical – the night before I came home, I woke up with the flu, and after an agonizing day traveling with the flu (it sucks and I don’t recommend it), I finally got home and slept from 2 PM until 9 AM this morning. 19 hours of sleep…think I was tired?!

Thankfully though, I woke up feeling so much better, and thank goodness. Now that I’m home, I leave for London in exactly 10 days. I have no idea how time or this semester has gone so damn quickly. Nevertheless, it’s almost the holidays, and I need to share with you an amazing holiday dessert. Really though, it’s a dessert for anytime you need some serious decadence in your life, and if the holidays aren’t the time for that, well then, I don’t know when is.

This cheesecake is made with my favorite kind of crust – graham cracker. It’s thick and rustic and so delicious. It provides the perfect base for the sweetness of this cheesecake! The cheesecake filling itself has caramel mixed into it and toffee bits swirled throughout – yum! Oh, and it’s all topped off with caramel sauce that drips everywhere and more toffee bits. It’s the ultimate in decadence. It’s creamy, delicious, sweet, and rich – everything a good cheesecake should be!

I’m keeping this post short and sweet so I can get back to the kitchen to make some more holiday treats to share with you all before I depart for my Euro-adventure! Happy holidays (and happy holiday baking)!
