Carla of Chocolate Moosey chose Chocolate-Crunched Caramel Tart, for this weeks Tuesdays with Dorie. If you are looking for a super rich chocolate dessert that looks like you went all out, this is for you. I loved the sweet tart dough and the layer of caramel and peanuts was delicious but, the top layer of chocolate gauche was almost too rich to eat. I caution you to follow the instructions very carefully and use low heat when making the caramel. I burned the first batch and had to make it over. I also decided to use half bittersweet chocolate and half semisweet chocolate to try to tone down the chocolate flavor a bit.My family's opinion on the tart was split. Half liked it and the other half thought that it was just too rich. They all loved the caramel and peanut layer. I was undecided but I will say that I enjoyed it much better the next day after it was well chilled. The crust was still good and the chocolate layer tasted like truffles.

Beautiful job! I'm hopeful that I will have mine done by the end of today!
YUM! Love your tart and the caramel is touchie. Mine tasted more like smokey toffee then a rich caramel but was still well received. Great Job!
I agree that the tart is really rich, but I still liked it. I thought that the caramel and peanut layer was the best part. I actually ended up scraping most of the ganache off of my piece. Your tart looks amazing.
Beautiful. I think this tart is best in small slivers. Tastes great but is rich.
Your tart is beautiful. We liked it and may make again, but it is rich.
love the red cake stand.
