Death by chocolate (and salted caramel)

I saw this tart on a few blogs and woah, made it! Most fabulous. If you'd like to see the recipe I followed, it's on The Traveler's Lunchbox, and I don't want to plagiarize. It's a nice discussion of salty desserts, which is kind of a thing, or maybe used to be a thing and I haven't been paying attention enough to the fads.

I made one for the s.o. & I, and then realized (after downing 1/8th each), that 1/16th of the recipe carries with it 522 calories, and about 75% of your daily allowance of saturated fat.

I knew this when I made one for the soup kitchen as well, but thought that we could all use a little indulgence every once in a while, especially around the holidays.



Here it is, basking in the sunlight. Kind of dusty?
