To make these tarts, you’ll need a few basic ingredients, such as chocolate chips, heavy cream, butter, and caramel sauce. The crust is made with a mixture of graham cracker crumbs and butter, and the filling is a mixture of melted chocolate and caramel sauce.
One of the keys to making these tarts really stand out is the salt. By sprinkling a little bit of sea salt on top of the caramel layer, you’ll create a delicious sweet and salty flavor combination that’s simply irresistible.
When it comes to serving these tarts, there are a few options. You can serve them chilled or at room temperature, depending on your preference.
