Salted Caramel Chocolate Tarts with Pretzel Crust

If you didn't know already, this week is Chocolate Week, which of course means that it's ok to eat chocolate all week, so why not celebrate with this rich chocolate tart, which has a sweet and salty pretzel base, topped with salted caramel and an indulgent chocolate topping.

I made these when family came up for the day (including our giggly grandson), to follow a meal of chicken Korma, rice, naan bread and chutney. It was a lovely sweet end to the spicy meal, and the tarts went down well with chocolate ice cream - can you ever have too much chocolate?

Quite honestly I could've eaten a bowl of ice cream with the pretzel base all over it, as it was just so good. I love that sweet and salty combination and the roasted pretzel base didn't disappoint.

They were a little crumbly and could probably have done with being left a little longer in the fridge, but we couldn't wait a moment longer! You can find this recipe, along with more, on the Great british Chefs website.

Salted Caramel Ice Cream

I have a bit of a thing for salted caramel and I sometimes crave it. I don't always give in to those cravings but occasionally when I'm out and spot salted caramel I have to give it a try. Unfortunately everyone seems to be jumping on the salted caramel bandwagon and I've tried some foods that just don't hit the spot so I thought it was time to attempt a salted caramel ice cream. 


This recipe is so simple, with only 3 ingredients. In fact it's so simple it really doesn't deserve to be so bloomin delicious!
