Create the Butterscotch Glaze:
1) In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar together.
2) Stir in heavy cream, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
3) Simmer for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.

Decorate the Cheesecake:
1) Drizzle extra butterscotch glaze around the edges for a cascading effect.
2) Dust with edible gold glitter or sprinkle crushed graham crackers for added texture.
