Recipe Reviews

9th October 2012

Zosia from Toronto, ON

Fantastic tart with a chocolate crumb crust, salty-sweet caramel-nut filling topped with a layer of glossy chocolate……a candy bar may have been its inspiration but this sophisticated tart bears no resemblance to any dime store treat (I’m showing my age here…perhaps I should say “dollar store treat”) I’ve ever had!

I noticed an erratum in the instructions for making the crust: you’re told to preheat the oven but not instructed to bake anything. I sent an email through the Baked site asking for clarification and received a reply from one of the authors shortly after – bonus points! You have the option of blind-baking the crust until set or simply refrigerating it. I chose to bake it.

The filling is an easy to make caramel combined with toasted walnuts and the topping of melted butter and chocolate is even easier. A little chilling is required between steps but apart from that, the tart is very quick to make.

I made this for the chocoholics at my Thanksgiving dinner but it was a hit with everyone.
