Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 6 tbsp butter melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate melted
  • 3/4 cup toffee bits

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 325F and press cookie crumbs with butter into a springform pan.
  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar smooth, then add eggs one at a time.
  3. Mix in sour cream, then fold in the toffee bits.
  4. Pour into the crust, then dollop the melted chocolate on top and swirl with a knife.

Notes

Drag your knife gently for swirls; over-mixing turns it muddy brown.
