Chocolate Peanut Tart

A delicious dark and sweet chocolate, made perfect by its marriage with peanuts and topped with ice cream it is just heaven. The chocolate is that chewy-fudgey taste bud tempter, a lot like tender brownies on a crust, but better.

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup of peanuts
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons of Honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 pie crust (enough for bottom and lattice)

1. Heat chocolate chips and butter in a bowl in microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until melted.  In a mixing bowl combine the peanuts, brown sugar, egg, honey, and vanilla and add in the microwaved chocolate mixture. Mix together.

2.Roll out half of your dough for the crust on a lightly flowered surface. Roll out the second dough, fold it in half, then with  pizza cutter  or knife cut strips about 3/4 inch wide.

3.Pour chocolate mixture in the center of crust on baking stone. Spread out to edges, to about 3/4 of an inch from edge. Place your lattice strips pressing each firmly into the crust (I ran out of dough in the pictures, you can get quite creative with your lattice, twerling and jazzing up the whole dessert!) when you have laid your lattice fold the edge of the crust over, pinching to seal.

4. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until crust is golden. Allow time to cool as this is best when just lightly warm. Cut into wedges with pizza cutter. Tastes excellent with some good quality vanilla ice cream! Enjoy!
