Easily made and impossible to resist. A superb combination of chocolate and caramel.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup (100 g) hazel, walnut or almond nuts.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 1\/2 cups (250 g) oat digestive biscuits(or use graham crackers).<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">14 oz (400 g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa) coarsely chopped. To be divided.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 cup (6 0z. 175 g) unsalted butter<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 cup (200 g ) double cream<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 cup (200 g) dulce de leche (from a 300 g tin of dulce de leche)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">pinch of flaked sea salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Preheat oven to 400 F. Spread the nuts on a baking tray and roast in oven for 5 or more minutes giving the tray a good shake halfway through, until they are golden brown. Remove from oven and leave to cool.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Butter your 9 inch (23 cm( loose-bottomed tart tin ( 9 inch) very well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Put the nuts, the biscuits and about 3\/4 cup (100 g 3 1\/2 oz) of chocolate in food processor. Pulse until chopped. You want a crumbly mixture, NOT a powder. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Melt butter in a small pan, then begin to pour into the biscuit mixture. Don&#8217;t pour it all in at once. You might not need the entire quantity of butter depending on the type of biscuits you use; just enough to hold together when pressed in your tart tin.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Tip the mixture into your tart tin and press into the bottom and up the sides to make a crust. You&#8217;ll find using the flat bottom of a measuring cup handy for pressing down the bottom of the crust.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Chill in the fridge while you make the filling<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Put the cream in a medium sized pan and carefully heat until a few bubbles form on the surface and it threatens to come to the boil. IMMEDIATELY remove from the heat.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the remaining coarsely chopped chocolates and stir until the chocolate is melted. If the chocolate is not melted completely put the pan on the still warm burner but DO NOT turn on the heat. Also, be careful not to get any water in your chocolate mixture at any time.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Remove the tart tin from the fridge. Spoon the dulce de leche over the biscuit base and use a spatula to spread out evenly.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Pour over the chocolate mixture and return to the fridge.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">After about 20 minutes or so sprinkle the sea salt over the top of the tart. Return to the fridge to set fully.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.5.3251<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"simple_likebuttons_container_small\">\r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_facebook\">\r\n        <div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n        <script>(function(d, s, id) {\r\n          var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n          if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\r\n          js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\r\n          js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\r\n          fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\r\n        }(document, \"script\", \"facebook-jssdk\"));<\/script>\r\n        <div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3632\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"button_count\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-width=\"90\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_twitter simple_likebuttons_twitter_s\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3632\" data-lang=\"en\">Tweet<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_googleplus\">\r\n        <g:plusone size=\"medium\" count=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3632\"><\/g:plusone>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_linkedin simple_likebuttons_linkedin_s\">\r\n        <script type=\"IN\/Share\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3632\" data-counter=\"right\"><\/script>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_xing simple_likebuttons_xing_s\">\r\n        <script data-url=\"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3632\" data-lang=\"de\" data-counter=\"right\" type=\"XING\/Share\"><\/script>\r\n        <script>\r\n          ;(function(d, s) {\r\n            var x = d.createElement(s),\r\n              s = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n            x.src ='https:\/\/www.xing-share.com\/js\/external\/share.js';\r\n            s.parentNode.insertBefore(x, s);\r\n          })(document, 'script');\r\n        <\/script>\r\n      <\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chocolate dark as midnight.\u00a0 Caramel sauce &#8211;\u00a0 toffee-like\u00a0 with just a suggestion of burnt sugar.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A superb marriage of flavours. \u00a0 CHOCOLATE AND SALTED DULCE DE LECHE TART is a very indulgent and very very French dessert.\u00a0\u00a0 One sees it &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3632\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3633,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":[],"wprm-recipe-roundup-description":[],"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[465,61,6],"tags":[1520,872,1519,885,1517,1516,1518],"class_list":["post-3632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-christmas-food-ideas","category-desserts-2","category-desserts-and-sweets","tag-chocolate-caramel-tart","tag-christmas-dessert","tag-christmas-treat","tag-dulce-de-leche","tag-easy-to-make-dessert","tag-french-desserts","tag-quick-deserts","course-dessert","cuisine-french"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3632"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3632\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3636,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3632\/revisions\/3636"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
