Toffee-Topped Cheesecake

August 21, 2012/ Lisa Carpenter

I've made a Heath Bar Coffee Cake for decades, but it was only upon Brianna's request for her 30th birthday cake that I attempted this, a blending of her favorite cake (cheesecake) and one of her favorite candies (Heath bars). Once the candles were blown out and the cake sampled, we all agreed: This toffee-topped cheesecake is pretty darn delicious.

Heath Bar Coffee Cake

October 01, 2009/ Lisa Carpenter

I first made this coffee cake nearly 30 years ago, after wrangling the recipe out of one of my coworkers. It was back in the day when I worked in the mortgage industry ... before the real estate crash ... the crash of the '80s. (Now I feel old!) It's been a staple of workplace potlucks and family gatherings ever since.
