I wish I would have researched this. I made this dessert today. Had problems with the caramel being too hard (I fixed it by making caramel my way) and mixing and the ganache was not dense enough. It all tasted great, but I was once again disappointed by a TWD recipe. Your ganache looks like what I had wanted.

mmm, yours look superb! I like the smaller tarts, they’re just so cute, LOL.

I like Dorie’s method for making caramel too… especially considering my lack of success with caramel before now.

Anyway, nice job!

Beautiful tart. Love the last shot with that huge peanut under that wonderful dark ganache. Glad it worked out for u in the end.

Your tart looks amazing. Thank you for the info on the %chocolate and fat. I didn’t know that. Also, I’m going to try the cornstarch sub. Sounds like it makes a good crust.

Your tarts look fabulous. Even though this was a candy-bar-like combination of flavors, it sure tasted better than a Snickers!

Thank you so much for the ganache tips. They’re very helpful and I’ll be referring to them the next time I make ganache!

Oh, those tarts are amazing…what a wonderful photo is that first one, well, all the photos are wonderful, but the first one is just gorgeous wiht everything lined up. I loved reading how you sub this and that and do this that and the other as I am loving learning everyone’s techniques each week. Your tart is gorgeous! I like the nuts not chopped, I think it looks really dramatic that way. Beautiful job.
