How To Make This Candy Bar Tart

This tart starts with a modified graham cracker crust. Graham crackers are laid out in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Pecans are arranged over the crackers. A mixture of brown sugar, butter and fine sea salt is heated on the stovetop until boiling. The mixture is poured over the crackers and pecans. The crackers are baked at 325 degrees F. for 10 minutes.

Once cooled the hard toffee like pieces are broken up and processed into fine crumbs. The crumbs are pressed into a 9-inch removable tart pan and the crust is baked in a hot oven until firm.

Semisweet chocolate is melted in a saucepan or microwavable bowl and transfer to the warm crust. An offset spatula or the back of a spoon is used to spread the melted chocolate evenly along the bottom of the crust.

Coconut, marshmallows, and a mix of walnuts, pecans, and almonds are sprinkled over the chocolate. Sweetened condensed milk is poured over the coconut, marshmallows and nuts. More coconut and marshmallows are sprinkled over the top.

The tart is baked in a 325 degrees F. oven for 30 minutes, or until the top begins to brown. Melted chocolate is drizzled over the cooled tart.

Served chilled or at room temperature.
