Ingredients For the Base:

• 350g Oreos (crushed)
• 125g unsalted or salted butter (melted)

For the Filling:

• 250g thick ready-made salted caramel sauce

For the Topping:

• 230g dark chocolate (chopped)
• 280ml double cream

For the Spiderweb Decoration:

• 40g white chocolate (melted)
• 2 tbsp (30ml) double cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base:
   • Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a pin.
   • Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined.
   • Press the mixture firmly into a 9” loose-bottom pie dish to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
2. Add the Filling:
   • Spread the salted caramel sauce evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
   • Return to the refrigerator to firm up while preparing the ganache.
3. Make the Chocolate Ganache:
   • Heat the double cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
   • Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 1-2 minutes.
   • Stir gently until smooth and glossy.
   • Pour the ganache over the caramel layer, spreading evenly.
4. Create the Spiderweb Design:
   • Mix the melted white chocolate with double cream until smooth.
   • Using a piping bag or a small ziplock bag with the corner snipped, pipe circles on the ganache, starting from the center and moving outward.
   • Use a toothpick to drag lines from the center to the edges, creating a spiderweb effect.
5. Chill and Serve:
   • Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours until fully set.
   • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this spooky, sweet treat!

Tips for Success

• Use high-quality dark chocolate for a rich and intense ganache.
• If you prefer a softer caramel, warm it slightly before spreading.
• Practice the spiderweb design on parchment paper first to perfect your technique.
