Turtle Toffee Cheesecake recipe - Baby Dickey (2024)

What’s on your holiday dinner menu this year? We’re pretty traditional and don’t change it up too much year to year, but I like to try new variations. One year, instead of plain cranberries on the table, I made brie and sugared cranberry crackers. I’ve added chocolate to my pecan pie. I spiced up the “cheese and crackers” appetizer with spinach artichoke dip.

This season, I partnered with Save-A-Lot to try something new! My friend Tiffanyshopped with the goal of keeping this UNDER $25—Save-A-Lot makes it easy, you could definitely shop there and make a whole family meal under $25. You can find lots of recipes and ideas on the Save-A-Lot website! Tiffany found lots of great stuff and decided to make a Turtle Toffee Cheesecake creation—with homemade toffee, too!

Doesn’t it look sooooo delicious? It is 😉 It’s very festive, too, with the pecans and caramel. You could use any nut and we LOVE toffee so sprinkled that on top for some added crunch and flavor, but you could also leave that out if you wanted. Or put your homemade toffee out on the side for the guests that do like it! It’s really easy to make with only a few ingredients.

We have one Save-A-Lot store in town (#24370) just down the road a few miles from our house. I had actually never been before! Tiffany said sections were clearly labeled and it was easy to find her way around–there aren’t tons of selections for each item, which makes shopping easier. There’s a produce section, meats, cheeses, etc. and Tiffany was thrilled to find they carried almond milk!

Tiffany went shopping with her adorable little 3-year-old helper. In addition to the supplies (under $25!) needed for our Turtle Toffee Cheesecake, she picked up some other items they needed—cleaners, almond milk, yogurt, fruit, apple crisp chips, and cheeses. As part of our partnership with Save-A-Lot, Tiffany had a few gift cards for the store. In the true spirit of the holidays, she handed them out to people in line behind her. Amazing, right?! Pay it forward!

You might have someof the ingredients needed for the Turtle Toffee Cheesecake at home already. Tiffany made the homemade toffee first and set it outside to harden (it’s cold here! haha) while she worked on the cheesecake.

What’s your favorite holiday side dish or dessert?
