This  cheesecake proves that pumpkin,  caramel, chocolate and butterscotch are quite the match in this simple pumpkin cheesecake.  [Image] Yesterday was 90 degrees here in North Texas, but today is a cool and crisp 72!!!! Fall is finally here and it's my absolute favorite season. As soon as the temperature drops I go into full baking mode and usually don't stop until after Christmas. My favorite fall treats are just about anything infused with apples, cinnamon and pumpkin. 
Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts, especially pumpkin. Anytime I want to impress my guests this Dulce de Leche Pumpkin Cheesecake is always my first choice, but sometimes I really just want a simple holiday cheesecake.  Insert this delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake topped with a caramel sauce, milk chocolate and butterscotch chips!!! 
[Image] This festive cheesecake is super delicious and so easy to make. I found this recipe on Mommy Hates Cooking and it's one of my favorite fall cheesecake recipes. I did adapt the recipe slightly by adding a mixture brown and white sugar as well as chocolate and butterscotch baking chips. I'm crazy about butterscotch, so I couldn't resist.
