In a very short time, the national dessert of Scotland (or so it seems) has become a favorite of mine. I'll definitely be working on a recipe for the next book club I host. As you can see, sticky toffee pudding can come in various shapes and with assorted garnishes, but I assure you it's always really, really good. "Pudding" in this case is actually more like a thick cake, which most likely has molasses in it and is something like gingerbread, but the caramel or toffee sauce is what really makes it awesome.

You know me. I'm salivating!
