True, true, I am a cake girl, but don’t let that cause you to believe that I don’t appreciate a good tart from time to time. Well, by now you’ve probably figured out that I’m pretty easy to convince that something is worth making if it involves good chocolate, butter, sugar, caramel and Fleur de Sel. Okay, well, very true–the list could have stopped at chocolate, as that’s usually enough to get me inspired. What is it about chocolate that draws us in? Dark chocolate, extra dark chocolate, milk chocolate, it really doesn’t matter to me as long as it is quality chocolate.
Today, in honour of quite likely the chocolatiest giveaway ever sponsored by Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts and Barry Callebaut, I decided to celebrate chocolate by making a Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Tart, which uses both my favourite Cacao Barry Extra Brute (extra dark) cocoa powder (you probably remember it from, well, almost every chocolate cake I’ve ever blogged about!) in the crust as well as one of the exceptional Cacao Barry Origine Dark Chocolate Couverture varieties (St.Domingue 70% cocoa) for a deep, dark and satiny ganache top. These rich and dark chocolate components are sandwiching a thick salted caramel filling and topped with a generous sprinkling of Fleur de Sel for one seriously decadent tart. Who knew that a dessert that stands a mere 1″ high could pack so much flavour and texture?
So as I mentioned in my last post, I have a super exciting, fabulously chocolaty giveaway for you guys, and I’m so excited to share it. No, that’s not blogger speak for “please enter my giveaway,” because I am sincerely excited about this. Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts in Toronto (where it all began for me!) has generously saved 2 places for a winner and friend to attend the upcoming Holiday Truffles & Bonbons class with Chef Marisa Scibetta, where students will learn the following techniques:
- Easy chocolate tempering tricks
- Molded and hand-rolled chocolates
- A variety of specialty ganaches recipes
- How to showcase and package your treats
- Working with transfer sheets
In addition, the sweet folks over at Barry Callebaut have generously offered to send 3 sets of two Origins Dark and Milk Chocolate Couverture varieties + a copy of their Simply Chocolate Magazine (which I have and love, by the way!). As someone who has tried all of these varieties, I can promise you they are all unique and incredible so even if you cannot attend the class, you can still win the chocolate prizes.
Here’s how the prizes are structured:
Prize #1: 2 spots (for the winner + a friend) in the November 24th & 25th (6:30pm-9:30pm) Holiday Truffles & Bonbons class at the highly-respected Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts in Toronto + 1 kg box of Cacao Barry Origins Dark Chocolate Couverture Mexique 66% + 1 kg box of St. Domingue 70% + a copy of Barry Callebaut’s Simply Chocolate Magazine, featuring recipes from Canada’s top pastry chefs & chocolatiers. This prize values over $450!
Prize #2: 1 kg box of Cacao Barry Origins Dark Chocolate Couverture Venezuela (72%) + 1 kg box of Tanzanie (75%)
Prize #3: 1 kg box of Cacao Barry Origins Dark Chocolate Couverture Equateur (76%) + 1 kg box Milk Chocolate Couverture Ghana (40.5%)
As you may know, I took my passion for cakes and baking to the next level when I took many courses at Bonnie Gordon College beginning in 2008, and I believe with all of my heart that for those passionate about baking and confectionary arts, that is the place to start. My experience there was, literally, life-changing. I learned more than I could have imagined, and the moment I walked into the school for my first course, and those that followed, I was struck with a surrounding sense of creativity and warmth. I say warmth because after being out of school for quite some time, I was a little unsure what to expect, but for a school that packs so much talent and knowledge, it was comfortable and inviting, and the classes were small and intimate; it was somewhere I wanted to be. And be. And be. Sure, being passionate about baking is exciting, but being trained by some of the best in the industry, that is empowering. When I walked out of the school each time, I felt more inspired than I had ever been and pretty much ready to take on the world of sweets. With so many classes and courses added often, I will likey never stop attending.
Here’s how to enter this chocolaty giveaway:
1. Again, even if you cannot attend the Bonnie Gordon College class on November 24th & 25th evenings, you are entered to win the premium Cacao Barry Chocolate Couverture prizes just by leaving a comment on this blog post telling me what your favourite chocolate treat is (baked good, pure chocolate, truffles, etc). That’s it! If you are able to attend the class (it doesn’t matter where you live, provided you can get yourself there), just make a note in your comment stating so, and you will be entered to win any of the prizes.
2. For an extra entry, tweet about this post (with the link) and include @Sweetapolita, then come back and let me know (your actual blog post comment is your entry, so be sure to write a separate comment for your tweet).

The giveaway for the class, however is for the November 24th-25th session. You can learn more about the class here.
Now, onto the incredible chocolate goodness that is this tart. When I first spotted this tart on Saveur, I knew I had to try it as I love sweet & salty (remember this cake?). This was, though, my first time using the Origine St.Domingue chocolate, which I used for the ganache top of this tart. What makes this chocolate couverture special is that, as the folks at Cacao Barry describe “Cultivated in limited quantities, harvested exclusively in one country, the rare beans that make up the exceptional chocolate couvertures of the Origine and Origine Rare collection are one of Cacao Barry’s best kept secrets,” and I have to agree. I’ve been a big fan of theirs for quite some time, but this chocolate is so rich and intense, which is exactly what I love in a ganache, so it was a perfect fit. My husband who swears he doesn’t like dark chocolate, said it was his favourite part of this tart. Hmm…I wonder what he’d say if he knew the St. Domingue is 70% cocoa (the milk chocolate is 40.5%). I think it’s because it is so smooth and the true cocoa flavour is so pure and decadent.
Here’s the recipe:
Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Tart {click to print}
*slightly adapted from Saveur
Servings: 8
Ingredients
For the crust:
1 1⁄2 cups (180 grams/6 ounces) all-purpose flour
1⁄4 cup + 1 tablespoon (35 grams) dutch-process cocoa powder (I used Cacao Barry Cocoa Powder – Extra Dark
1⁄4 teaspoon (2 grams) kosher salt
10 tablespoons (150 grams/5 ounces) unsalted butter, cubed and softened
1⁄2 cup + 2 tablespoons (70 grams/2.5 ounces) confectioners’ (icing, powdered) sugar
2 egg yolks, at room temperature
1⁄2 tsp (2.5 mL) vanilla extract (I use Nielsen-Massey Vanillas 8-oz. Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
For the Caramel:
1 1⁄2 cups (300 grams/10 ounces) sugar
6 tablespoons (90 mL) water
3 tablespoons (45 mL) light corn syrup
1⁄4 teaspoon (2 grams) kosher salt
6 tablespoons (90 grams/3 ounces) unsalted butter
7 tablespoons (105 mL) 35% whipping cream or heavy cream (36%+)
For the Ganache:
1⁄2 cup (125 mL/4 liquid ounces) 35% whipping cream or heavy cream (36%+)
115 grams (4 ounces) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (I used Cacao Barry Chocolate – Pure Origin – Saint-Domingue – 70%
Fleur de Sel for garnish ( I used Fleur de Sel De Guerande- French Sea Salt ; 6oz
1. Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350˚F. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Using a handheld mixer, cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until mixture is pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes; mix in egg yolks and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Transfer dough into to a 9″ fluted tart pan with a removable bottom (such as Kaiser Bakeware Noblesse 9-1/2-Inch Non-stick Quiche Pan with Removable Base
2. Make the caramel: In a small heavy saucepan, whisk together sugar, corn syrup, salt and water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook undisrupted until a candy thermometer inserted into the syrup reads 340°F. If you don’t have a candy thermometer, look for the caramel to turn a rich amber colour, then remove pan from heat and whisk in butter and cream (the mixture will bubble up, so be careful!) until. If you suspect your caramel has gone too far in colour and that it is burnt, you will have to discard and start the caramel again. Pour caramel into cooled tart shell and let cool slightly; refrigerate until firm, 4–5 hours or overnight.
3. Make the ganache: Bring heavy cream almost to a boil (I remove from heat as soon as I see a few bubbles under the surface) in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Put chocolate into a medium bowl and pour in hot cream; let sit for a moment, then stir slowly in a circular motion with a rubber spatula, until smooth. Pour ganache evenly over tart and spread with a small offset spatula, then refrigerate until set, 4–5 hours or overnight. Sprinkle tart with sea salt, slice and serve chilled.
Sweetapolita’s Notes:
* When I read the reviews for the original recipe, there was a lot of concern from Saveur readers who had tried the recipe stating that the caramel filling oozing out when served, which is why it says to serve chilled. I wanted to firm up the caramel, to avoid it being too sloppy, so once I stirred in the butter and cream, I put the caramel back on the stove on medium heat and heated to 240°F. In the end, this made it quite firm and almost toffee-like. It tasted incredible, but next time I will try it without that step, the way it reads in the recipe and will save the more firm toffee for candy.
Either way, it’s amazing…
Good luck & enjoy!
Gorgeous! This looks unbelievable.
Oh My Goodness! I am buying myself a tart pan this weekend!
I was in the Callebaut store in Oakville a couple of weeks ago and bought a big slab of chocolate. I can’t wait to use it!
I’d love to be entered in the giveaway!
My favorite chocolate treat would have to be brownies. I love the basics!
I love chocolate lava cakes!!
Oh’ my! I recently attended pie party live and Gail from @THEToughCookie made this tart, well, let’s just say I went back for more than my share. This tart is Glorious!
Tweeted! http://twitter.com/#!/omnivore100proj/status/132126050988736513
Chocoholics rejoice! Dark chocolate, salty goodness and caramel, this recipe is crush-worthy. My fave chocolate? My mom’s chocolate fudge that she deems perfect for breakfast with a cup of coffee.
Favorite chocolate treat? Anything with dark chocolate…the darker the better. My favorite chocolate candy, though, would be anything by Black Dinah Chocolatiers in Maine. They have some amazing flavor combinations.
This looks incredible! I love ganache.
I wish I could attend the class. Too close to our Thanksgiving. :)
I would still love to be entered.
Thanks for the great recipes and inspiration!
My favorite chocolate treat is a good gooey, soft, and fudgy brownie with chocolate frosting. So simple and so good.
I tweeted you too

Favourite I have to chose just one! I guess it would have to be Chocolate mousse, it has the chocolate taste but with such smoothness. Yum Yum!!!
Ok, this is really difficult considering I LOVE ANYTHING DARK CHOCOLATE!! :-)
However, My most recent favorite has been a ganache made with the bittersweet callebaut chocolate. As much as I love a rich chocolate cake, I LOVE chocolate ice cream.
Wow, I think I need to go buy a tart pan this weekend and make this! And my favorite thing chocolate…has to be brownies!
I want some! God, Rosie, it looks delicious!! I think I’ll make it soon, do you know if there’s something that I can replace corn syrup with? Thank you! xxx
Oh how I wish I could win the classes, but I live in Texas and can’t afford to get to Toronto. :-( My favorite chocolate is just dark chocolate. Anything made with chocolate is wonderful, but I just love to savor a small square of dark chocolate.
Just tweeted..:-)
I wouldn’t be able to attend the classes (Thanksgiving and the day after I’ll be eating my heart out and sleeping it off), but I’d love to win! My fave chocolate treat is a chewy brownie. No frosting, no add-ins, just the brownie. :)
I LOVE a good, chunky chocolate chip cookie. I would love to win one of the prizes #2 or #3 because I can’t attend the baking class (I wish I could, but I live across the US). Thank you for this opportunity.
I recently made a batch of salted caramel sauce, so I can only imagine how good this tart is. Straight out of the fridge the sauce is quite firm, so I’m sure it would work well as a tart filling, without oozing. I think the reviewers on the Saveur site must not have let their tart cool long enough in the fridge….
I don’t know if I have a favorite chocolate dessert because I love anything chocolate ;) That said, Nigella’s chocolate cloud cake (basically a flourless chocolate cake) is incredible. The cake’s crackled top gets me every time!
chocolate mousse…:)
is there such a thing as favorite chocolate? This being fall, I think a warm sipping chocolate would be super tasty.
Wow, that tart looks awesome.
My favorite chocolate treat these days is a salted caramel rice krispie treat coated in dark chocolate.
My favorite chocolate treat is a super thick, fudgy brownie! I might have to go make some right now…….
Can’t pick a favorite – if it’s chocolate, it’s probably my favorite. :)
So wish I could make it to Toronto – sounds wonderful.
I am a true chocoholic!! I especially love dark chocolate!! My favourite thing to bake & eat are my dark chocolate brownies with peanut butter & melted chocolate on top!! I’d love to win the course at Bonnie Gordon College!!!
Thanks, love your blog!!!!!!!!
I love everything chocolate (caveat: serious chocolate!), but if I had to narrow it down (why would I ever?), the favorite would be chocolate cake, in all its many manifestations. Hot Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Stout Cake, Chocolate Almond Crunch Cake, they all delight! I always cry a little when I empty a canister of good cocoa powder or finish off a great bar of quality chocolate.
Wish I could attend the classes, but unfortunately for me, I can’t make it to Toronto on those dates.
Thanks for a delicious giveaway!
Your tart looks GLORIOUS! I am a fan of anything chocolate, but my favorite is molten lava chocolate cakes. I cannot attend the class (but OH how I wish that I could!), but I’d love to win all of that amazing chocolate!
I shared the giveaway on Facebook!
i can’t even pick a favorite chocolate treat! the first thing that popped into my head right now though would be dark chocolate gelato. yum (:

My favorite chocolate treat is chocolate peanut butter brownies! I can’t attend the class, but would love to win chocolate :)
I think I could actually attend this class if I were lucky enough to win! My favorite chocolate treat is whatever is available to eat! Have not met a chocolate treat that I did not like! :)
I can’t attend the class, but I would love to win the chocolates! I love love love truffles. And this tart looks amazing.
I love chocolate cookies with cocoa Barry and am 100% available!!!
My favorite chocolate treat would be a rich chocolate cake filled with ganache. Nothing better for that chocolate fix we all need from time to time. Love your blog!
My favorite decadent chocolate dessert is a dark chocolate olive oil cake covered in dark chocolate ganache and sprinkled with sea salt that I make about once a year. The flavor is unique and irresistable!
I don’t want to get in trouble for commenting again (not trying to increase my odds of winning, I swear!), but how do you think substituting dulce de leche for the salted caramel would work out? I randomly made some dulce de leche last night, and I was thinking of putting it in an apple pie this weekend, but now I’m leaning towards using it as the caramel layer in this tart. If served chilled it would be the perfect consistency. Only thing missing would be the salt from it, but my husband isn’t a big fan of salted caramel anyway…Anyway, just pondering “out loud.” :)
Oh my God…I would love to enter your giveaway if you would ship the stuff to Germany in case I win. As for my favourite chocolate treat, I love dark chocolate brownies, still a little warm and gooey…hmmmm…or homemade chocolate mousse. I love everything containing dark chocolate, I like it better than milk chocolate.
Favorite chocolate treat: not so original for a girl who prides herself on being a gourmet, but brownies. Nothing beats brownies.
I posted the link to the blog article before I even saw that it gave me an extra entry! Haha! I just saw a sandwich of glorious caramel and dark chocolate, and I couldn’t help but post it! I believe my exact words were, “Hello beautiful. Where have you been all of my life?” ;)
Hot Fudge Brownie Sundaes! Nothing better than a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge on top to start melting the ice cream. Ahhh, so good!
That looks amazing! I’ve been playing with caramel lately and have a wonderful sauce that works as well as a harder caramel candy. This is that perfect in between that I’ve been looking for. I would say my favorite dessert is chocolate cheesecake. Divine. I would love to win, but I can’t attend the class, which is heartbreaking.
I also posted this on facebook. Can’t make the class but would love to try a different brand of chocolate – thanks!
I love homemade hot chocolate made with high quality chocolate !!! and I would LOVE to attend the class but wouldn’t be able to :(
I love anything chocolate! But especially chocolate cake, om nom nom!

I have recently discovered my love for macaroons! I once tried a macaroon from the bakery section of a large grocery store, and I thought it was disgusting! Then I tried one a recently from a small specialty shop, and now cannot get enough of vanilla or toffee macaroons… Just goes to show that quality ingredients leads to quality products.
forgot to state: I am able to attend the classes! :) *fingers crossed*
I just experienced Cacao Barry Chocolate for the first time taking classes at Bonnie Gordon this summer. I can’t believe the difference it makes in all baking! I heart Cacao Barry Chocolate! I didn’t know Cacao was supposed to be this good! Seriously! I love baking, it truly is a passion for me and Chocolate and Caramel is the perfect combination! My favourite by far has to be a deep rich chocolate cake. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be entered in the give away – and would giggle like a kid in a candy store for the opportunity at another BGC class! Thanks for the recipes and have a great weekend!
Shared on facebook! :)
I won’t be able to attend the class, but I would love to enter for the other giveaway!
Goodness, this tart looks amazing! *drools* I I wasn’t so afraid of destroying my kitchen with everything involving caramel, I’d make this as soon as I could!
I’d love to take part in your giveaway, too. So I have to decide which chocolate dessert is my favorite, and that is not easy! But I guess I’ll go with a really well done mousse au chocolat.
Just shared the link to your page on my facebook…I “liked” your apge so you should be able to see it on my page – Irene Pavelt
I just posted to FB about this as well. :-)
Mmm..I love rich, dark chocolate ice cream!
This is one serious tart! Almost a cross between candy and a pie, maybe? Yummy.
Please enter me in the chocolate giveaway. It sounds delicious.
this tart looks incredible! i love a good brownie, like a deep dark rich fudgey brownie. that would have to be my fav.
I won’t be able to attend the class, but I would love to be entered for the other prizes!
It’s so difficult to narrow down my favorite chocolate treat! I love chocolate peanut butter ice cream and also chocolate brownies with chocolate icing :)
I shared the link on Facebook too!

Brownies are my favorite!
I would have say chocolate cake but that tart could make me change my mind.
That looks amazing. I’m craving a tart now! yum! I’d love to attend this class!
My favourite chocolate treat to make (and eat) is rich and fluffy chocolate cake topped with ganache!
I would DEFINITELY be able to take that class, so please enter me! I would love to learn more about working with chocolate!
I can’t get to that amazing sounding class, but my favourite chocolate treat would be the salted caramel brownie from Baked Explorations. And I prefer milk chocolate over dark, whatevs.
I can’t wait to try this!!! I honestly have to say that the best (and so my favourite) chocolate treat I’ve ever had in my life is that salted caramel chocolate cake you posted a while back. The salt on the chocoltate icing sent me into raptures!
Okay – the link is posted on my FB. Pick me! Pick me! ;-)
I love a piece of super dark chocolate (80% cacao+). Just savouring it slowly is my favourite way to enjoy chocolate…followed closely by hot chocolate! (I’m sad…I’m on vacation the date of the class, so I can’t enter for that. I keep looking at their courses and drooling over ones I want to take when I’m no longer a broke student. If I baked less I might be not quite so broke haha)
Tweeted!
I recently stumbled across your website and feel a little guilty commenting for the first time on a giveaway, but the chocolate, well, my inhibitions were thrown out the window at the thought of chocolate.
My go to dessert for family and friends, is a quickly thrown together batch of brownies. I’ve got my favourite recipe memorized, undercook it as much as is decent and serve it hot with vanilla bean ice cream and strawberries, if they’re in season. (My high maintenance chocolate favourite is a Chocolate Blackout Cake that gives me heart palpitations and makes an appearance for family birthdays.)
I’m not able to attend the event in Toronto (though I’ll be there the week before), but would love to be entered into the draw.
I would love to attend the class. Please pick me…..pretty please:-)
I am not normally a chocolate lover, but every Christmas I have to take a small bite on milk chocolate truffle balls. My one and only indulgence during the holiday season. Do you have any recipes for that?
BTW I am going to try out your dark chocolate cupcakes with the swiss meringue buttercream this weekend.
Facebooked! (is that a word?)
Having just made some chocolate brownies, I should maybe say thAt they are my favourite. However, what I really love is deeply dark spiced cacao tea from the Rabot cafe in borough market, London. It’s made from compacted cocoa nibs grated down into hot milk.
I love brownies with orange frosting. Such a great combination! Unfortunately, I can’t attend the class, but would like to be entered for the other prizes!
Hi@sweatapolita Awesome contest. I love all things chocolate, especially chocolate truffles with Bailey’s or white chocolate truffles with coconut cream :) I also love the richness of Spanish hot chocolate (reminds me of my childhood in the Philippines)
Chocolate addict over here. I’d have to say the richest chocolate brownie you can think of, frosted with even more chocolate if you can swing it. Mmm….
I would LOVE to attend the class, unfortunately I live in chicago & traveling would be way to complicated for me right now!!! Please enter me in #2 & #3. I absolutely love, love, love chocolate!
My favourite would have to be Chocolate Lava cake, with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. I didn’t think it would be that hard to decide what my favourite is. I just love everything chocolate really. My favourite might change once I try that tart for the first time.
I just shared the link on my Facebook page!!! I’m excited to hear who wins, this is an awesome contest!! :D
I love any sort of warm chocolately baked cookie, cake or bar fresh from the oven. I would love to enter the giveaway, although I will not be able to make the classes (much to my dismay)!!

This looks absolutely decadent. My favorite chocolate treat are homemade peanut butter cups.

My favorite chocolate treat has to be good ‘ole chocolate ice cream! The creamiest kind you can find, maybe even with some hot fudge sauce on top, mmmmmmmmm! I cannot attend the class but the other two prizes sound amazing! :)

Wooow! This looks amazing! I love anything with chocolate! I cannot attend to the class but i’d love the chocolate!
I’m a sucker for anything chocolate and peanut butter, what an amazing combo. One of my favorites is a chocolate and peanut butter ice cream pie.
I would LOVE the opportuniy to check out the school! I’ve been contemplating attending the school for some time now, it just hasn’t been the right timing yet. Too many babies still at home! :)
I twitted about it!
And posted it on FB! :-)
My favorite chocolate treat would have to be Mexican hot chocolate. I love the idea of adding spicy elements like cinnamon and cayenne pepper to rich, dark chocolate!
I love anything made with bittersweet chocolate. A dense fudgy bittersweet chocolate cake with barely sweetened whipped cream is my favorite.
My favourite chocolate treats are chocolate crunch bars. (I will be able to make it to the class.)
My favorite chocolate treat is molten lava cakes! Nothing better than a chocolate cake with a gooey center :-)
Yum…I love salted caramel anything…but especially truffles. This sounds good, I am definitely trying.
I shared the link with my facebook friends too…
I have many favourite chocolate treats but right now it’s a rich chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling.
Your chocolate caramel tart looks delicious!
I love chocolate! My favorite is dark chocolate but I love it all. When my mom asked me what treat I wanted to bring to kindergarten for my birthday she was expecting me to say popsicles or cookies. I said wanted chocolate eclairs. It was my mom’s fault because she made adorable mini chocolate eclairs and I loved helping her and eating the result. I’m sure she did not want to spend all that time making pastry for a bunch of kindergarteners but she did anyway because she is wonderful. The class sounds amazing but I couldn’t make it if I won but feel free to consider me for any of the other prizes.
Rosie,
I love your rich and dark chocolate cake. I made several of them for my daughters bake sale and we made $600! I am in San Diego and would love anything chocolate.
I saw this recipe and have been dying to try it. I’m so glad that you did so I could read about it before I took the plunge.
I shared this on Twitter (@pattietierney)
I shared this link on Facebook.
This tart looks absolutely delicious! I personally had a sweet spot for a decadent, fudgey chocolate cake!! Mmmm…
I would love to learn how to make delicious, hand-made chocolates!
This looks tasty! I tried Lemon cake with lavender buttercream yesterday. It might be November, but I don’t care! I just had to try it! I brought it to work today and everyone likes it. It is such a different taste!
I will have to make this for Thanksgiving gathering!
I would love to attend the class, but I will be out of town for Thanksgiving. I would still love to be added for the other drawings!!!
You’re the best!
For me, nothing beats a decadent brownie frosted with a deep, dark chocolate genache…
Dark chocolate brownies are my favorite! My kids won’t even touch milk chocolate since they were a year old ;-)
I love chocolate tortes. I wish I knew how to make them pretty.
Dark chocolate is my absolutely favorite. Right now, I would love a dark chocolate key lime truffle from Godiva!
I’m a baker who doesn’t generally don’t eat sweets, but I love salted caramel. One of my favorite drinks is salted caramel hot chocolate. The tart looks amazing!
Thank you for giving us a chance to win your giveaway,however, I would not be able to attend the class if I am chosen.
Has to be white chocolate mousse – with either a dark chocolate sauce or raspberry coulis.
I live in England and would seriously love to attend the school but am afraid it’s not going to happen….
This looks sinful! I love it!
My favorite chocolate treat is the classic chocolate ice cream. I love everything about it and it never gets dull in my eyes.
This tart looks fabulous. I’ve only recently learned to appreciate the whole salt and caramel concept and now I’m actually a little obsessed. I’m constantly trying to bring people over to the salty side.
Growing up I didn’t get eat a lot of chocolate chip cookies. I think it’s because my mother thought my eating more cookie dough than I baked was questionable. It was the first thing I ever tried to bake. It wasn’t easy but I learned how to do it properly and now I think I could do it blind folded. My favourite chocolate treats are hands down, chocolate chip cookies, freshly baked :)
I just tweeted about the giveaway too! twitter.com/mangogal
Wow this tart looks stunning, I have just seen it over on Flickr (I am sugarsugargal !)
I would so love to be entered for some choccie treats but couldnt make the Bonnie Gordon part (wrong country :(….)
My favourite chocolate treat would be your very own recipe for chocolate cake which I have made time after time and is thoroughly delicious and decadent (and also foolproof !) I would love to eat it with fresh raspberries and whipped cream, simply delicious :)

Chocolate and peanut butter anything! Love your site. Cate
Chocolate mousse. Yum.
And I won’t be able to attend the class, but I’d love to have some chocolate!
This looks so delicious! My favorite chocolate dessert is either Godiva’s Roasted Almond Truffle (I work there!) or chocolate pie (any variety). Mmm!
I wish I could attend the class, but I won’t be able to make it. :(

I LOVE LOVE chocolate!! Right now my favorites are a few things, one being YOUR rich and dark chocolate celebration cake that I made for my birthday (but with dark chocolate buttercream), fudgy brownies, and my mom’s homemade dark chocolate and Kahlua truffles, or her white chocolate and ginger truffles. YUM!
And I won’t be able to attend the class.
i love chocolate with mint. ok. and caramel. but not together, or perhaps together. who knows? i just really like it.
My favorite chocolate treat is probably a brownie. Thanks for the giveaway!
This looks amazing! I couldn’t attend the class, but I would love to be entered in the giveaway! I love chocolate in all forms, but if I had to choose, I would have to say straight up. :-)
Keep up the wonderful work – you are so inspiring!
If I had to pick a favorite chocolate dessert it would be chocolate cake with chocolate frosting!
I love my homemade chocolate cake the best. This is an amazing giveaway.
I LOVE chocolate any which way, but a simple homemade chocolate chip cookie probably would top the list. Love the site, I found it just a while ago and have really enjoyed going through your posts!
I wouldn’t be able to make the classes :(
I really love a good, fudgy brownie. I’d love to attend the class, but I’ll be halfway around the world at that time.
Omg I just came by this blog and I was looking for a holiday treat idea apart from my usual cookies, cakes etc. I’d love a chance to attend the school (I’ve went there before) but I’m low on cash and I hope I win lol. But my favourite chocolate treat is probabbly chocolate mousse, so sinful and silky!
I’m so excited for this oppurtunity I just liked and shared this on facebook!
Shared the link on FB.
Oh How I can’t wait for the draw I just tweeted too~
I just shared your post on Facebook :)!
What an amazing giveaway! I’m so sad I’m not near Toronto, but I could happily do SERIOUS damage to that chocolate. My favorite is a deep, fudgy brownie with mint chip ice cream, and I’m sure this chocolate would be amazing for that. Fingers crossed!
My favorite chocolate treat is definitely a really good, decadent dark chocolate chip cookie. I would love to be entered in the draw for the class too. Thanks.
I will be enjoying my Thanksgiving dinner in Washington state during the class but would love some chocolate. Hmmm.
Dear Sweetapolita,
What a great contest! I love chocolate and I can’t wait to try this recipe, Chocolate + salted caramel = Always Yummy !!!!. I am a chocolate lover so its really hard to pick one treat. My favorite right now will be pure dark chocolate infused with red hot chili. So GOOD! May be you could incorporate this in one of your dessert, I am sure you would make something fantastic out of it ;)By the way I would love to go to this class. I am living in K-W and I am moving in Edmonton in December but November 24-25 I will still be around, YES! lol
I am definitely trying this one!!
My grandfather owned a pastry shop in Holland and he used to make the most incredible CHOCOLATE eclairs. I have never come across ones that tasted as good; maybe I’m a bit bias but I sure would love to learn how to make them like him. Too bad he never left the recipe. Would you happen to have a good one?
Rosie, your tart looks stunning, as usual!
Right now I love a Lindt bar that is dark chocolate with orange and almond. Delish!
I live in Mississauga and could attend the classes.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
This looks absolutely delicious — I’m going to have to make it soon. I can’t make the class (wish I could as it sounds amazing), but would love to be entered in the other give aways. My favorite type of chocolate is milk chocolate and chocolate chip and cranberry oatmeal cookies — a new recipe I recently modified and I can’t get enough of them.
Favorite treat? I’m a brownies kinda girl!
I tweeted!
you are a genious!!
I shared on FB!
I love a rich dark chocolate cupcake (or cake)!
This is an amazing tart! I made almost the same last weekend :) Take a look at it here: http://kitchenkaos.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/sjokolade-og-karamell-terte/
It´s in norwgian, but the pictures says it all ;)
Guiness chocolate cupcakes! Beer goes great with everything…
My favorite thing to make with chocolate is a CHOCOLATE HEAVEN CAKE!:P
I tweeted too!!!https://twitter.com/#!/TatyanaHakim
Facebooked!
That sounds amazing! Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite is probably just straight dark chocolate… really dark. Yum. I could eat it all day. :)
Molten lava cake is most definitely my favorite chocolate treat!
What’s my favourite chocolate treat? Don’t think I can answer that question…I love ALL chocolate, in all of its glorious forms. My first chocolate treat of the day, though (that’s EVERY DAY, within a few minutues of waking up!), is a square (or 2 or 3) of solid dark (usually Lindt). I would LOVE to win the giveaway, Rosie, and am able to attend the Bonnie Gorden class. I’ll be there in a hearbeat if I win!
chocolate caramel brownies! The best combination ever!
I am drooooooling looking at that Tart. I love chocolate tarts. I have never had one, but I can tell by looking at yours that I do. :) I also love triple threat chocolate chip cookies (see my blog :) ).
I posted this on http://www.facebook.com/dishingthedivine so my readers will know about your great tart! :)
I love love love chocolate mud cake with ganache filling :)
Just tweeted!
I would love to be entered, and I can attend the class in Toronto! My favorite chocolate treat is chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache. So yummy! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
I shared on facebook :)
I haven’t made it, but Lottie and Doof has some helpful tips at his blog on this same recipe. My favourite chocolate treat is brownies. Fudgy ones, not cakey. My husband and I can eat a pan between us in one sitting, oof.
I love chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! Always a winner.
Ohmahgawd, that looks just delicous! The things i want to do to that… Mostly eat it but… Well you know :) i love chocolate! Can’t make the classes, even though they sound fab.. sign me up for the others though. PS, your chocolate cake is my fave… And everyone else who tries it.
my favorite chocolate thing is chocolate itself!! it doesnt really matter what its in, i will eat it plain!! I have like 5 different choclates from Lindt and Ritters opened on a tray in the kitchen and my sister, mom and I love to snack on it all the time!! I would love to go to the class but sadly I am all the way down in Florida :(
Nothing beats pure homemade chocolate fudge… mmmm. But adding chocolate to a gooey butter tart is close second!
Thanks for the contest, and I would love to attend the classes at Bonnie Gordon :)
My fav is dark rich fudgy brownies!!!! Wish I could go to the class, but can’t!
Rosie, This tart looks amazing! I truly love anything chocolate… And I mean anything! I think my fav would be a dark chocolate cake filled with lots of chocolate mousse.
I failed to mention that I would be able to (and would love to) attend the class! :)
I shared this on facebook!
I tweeted this giveaway!! :)
I just shared on facebook!
I like chai flavored dark chocolate.
How am I supposed to pick just ONE chocolate thing as a favorite… it has to be the flourless chocolate torte I had last May at Black Star Farms, a LOT like this dessert, actually.
Also, I shared this on Facebook ~ http://www.facebook.com/legallybaked ~ and told all my friends they need to start following you everyday!

Right now my favorite chocolate is a fudge cake that my BFF learned at BGC. But I tried a chocolate wine recently, and that was pretty good too!
I would LOVE a class at BGC.
warm chocolate fudge cake!
https://twitter.com/#!/MONKEYMOM8105/status/132255000276631554
Mmmm chocolate…is there anything not to love!? Anything mint/chocolate combination takes the cake for me!
I would love to be entered to win! I would be able attend the class! What an amazing experience that would be <3
I shared on Facebook.
I melt for rich hot fudge sauce, but can be easily convinced to switch allegiance to any chocolate treat in the vicinity.
Hum yummy tart! Your photo, as always, is perfect!
Every chocolate treat is the best, I really can’t choose!
Wow this is where it all began for you? Makes me want to go very badly!!! I am very passionate, but I know I miss some technique, learning alone sometimes is not the best way! I can attend!
Thank you for this amazing giveaway!
This tart looks amazing. I will have to ask my husband to make this for me. He is the baker of the family. The give away would be a great opportunity for him to learn new techniques to spoil me ;)
Posted on Facebook
I have blogged, tweeted, and liked on Facebook. Now, I wait and pray. :)
I love an unexpected burst of dark chocolate in banana bread… and what would chocolate chip cookies be without the delicious chocolate chips?
I’m a sucker for truffles.
I shared this giveaway on Facebook.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=510226392
My favorite chocolate dessert would have to be hot chocolate. I wouldn’t be able to attend the class, but would love to get some of that amazing chocolate!
My favorite chocolate dessert is French Silk Pie!
I am making a chocolate mousse right now! My favorite.
I can make it to the class too!
I would love the chance to take a class at Bonnie Gordon school, I’ve looked at her courses often and wished I had some way of coming up with the extra money to try them out. I can’t forget the chance to work with some amazing chocolate as well. As for my favourite way to eat chocolate… I love warm chocolate chip cookies that are still a bit gooey in the middle with a cup of homemade hot cocoa of course. Thank-you for giving us readers a chance to win the fabulous gifts!
I shared the contest post and link on facebook…http://www.facebook.com/Mamaicymouse
I shared this blog post as a tweet as well!
Red wine chocolate cake although, this could easily become my new favorite. :)
What a decadent tart! I think my favourite chocolate is simple pure dark chocolate! I can just eat bite after bite of it. :)
I am available for the BGC class!
Oh my, this looks absolutely amazing! Hard to choose what my favourite chocolate treat, I love anything chocolate :) Mostly just love a plain milk chocolate bar from Purdy’s Chocolates (on the West Coast, not sure if they are back East).
Shared on Facebook too!
Truffles. Truffles. Truffles. And I mentioned you on Facebook. :)
I cannot pass up a fudgy chocolate brownie.
Rosie you are awesome! I’m a Toronto girl and could totally attend! My favourite chocolate treat would have to be a molten lava cake, mmmmmm!!!!!
I’m going to have to try this recipe out! Thx
I love a good slightly underbaked double fudge chocolate brownie with M&M’s!!
Mentioned you on FB too :)
I’m all about chocolate + salted caramel desserts these days, and this looks so beautiful and delicious!
It’s really difficult for me to choose a chocolate dessert, because I love anything with chocolate in it–I’m a hopeless addict. But as of right now, I would have to go with a chocolate soufflé for its soft, airy texture and deep chocolate flavor! Also, I tweeted! https://twitter.com/#!/peachy_days
My favorite chocolate treat is definitely chocolate truffles. Sooo smooth and delicious!
Mmmm.. I love how sweet and salty merries and creates beautiful flavors! Added on chocolate, its a bliss!
I can make it to the class – please add me :)
The tart looks divine! I love a good fudgy brownie!
I love truffles. My mom made my husband and me some last Valentines and we were crazy about them! I think it’s time I try them myself and would love to with these delicious chocolates :)
It’s hard to choose just one, but probably a moist chocolate cake with peppermint buttercream. While I can’t attend the classes, I could sure put the chocolate to use for the holidays. Thanks.
Wow, attending that class would be the most amazing experience in the world. I so wish I could go, but it’s the date of Thanksgiving/Mom’s Birthday, but if I won that would be super cool.
The one chocolate treat I could probably never get enough of is those chocolate chocolate chip muffins you get at the store. I don’t know what they do to them to make them so delicious, and I would like to say that I wish I knew their secrets, but in all honesty, I don’t think I really would. If I knew the secrete, I would never stop making those muffins and then I’d be as big as a house.
Sounds like a dream. I really wish I could attend the class, but it’s too close to Thanksgiving and I’m only home from college for a few days…but I’d love the chocolate to make something for my family!
I might make this tart for Thanksgiving dessert, it looks too good.
My favourite chocolate treat is flourless chocolate cake with chocolate ganache on top. So. Freakin. Delicious.
Chocolate Ice Cream Cake!!
I retweeted this post onto twitter!
I also shared this link via Facebook!
That tart looks AMAZING! I’d have to say my favorite chocolate treat would be a bar of bittersweet studded with dried tart cherries . . . drool.
I’d be able to attend the class, which sounds absolutely fantastic. Thanks for doing the giveaway!

My favorite is just simple choc chip cookies. A soft and chewy one of course!

I love anything chocolate, but I’d have to say my mom’s chocolate coconut cake is my all time favorite.
My best friend Elizabeth’s and I LOVE just a plain bar of 80% dark chocolate. I am in love with chocolate cakes as well.
I love pretty much anything with chocolate :) but right now i’m into Lindt “A touch of sea salt” dark chocolate bars!!!
My favorite excuse to eat chocolate is a dark, gooey brownie. Not that I’d turn down chocolate in ANY form… And I have a feeling this tart may give brownies a run for their money. Thanks for sharing!
loooooove fudgy brownies! with pecans! and salted caramel! mmm :)
posted on fb too: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1208756562
i love a warm fudgy brownie straight from the oven!
I love so many chocolate treats it is hard to limit myself. I really like King Arthur Brownies – but I like Baskin Robins Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream – I think it is that salty peanut butter and the sweet creamy rich chocolate that balance each other out.
Please enter me for the give away :-)
I posted on Facebook as well
fantastic giveaway! if i had to pick a favorite chocolate treat i’d probably go with brownies =]
Now thats what I call chocolate Nirvana…would love to join the giveaway!

A good chewy dark chocolate brownie with lots of walnuts in it. I’m totally going to make this caramel chocolate tart, it looks GORGEOUS!
This looks amazing!! I love it…
http://www.mipatisserie.blogspot.com
How can you pick a favourite chocolate treat? This is simply an impossible task. BUT I WILL TRY. I suppose for emotional reasons, I will choose a Sachertorte, because it was the cake my mum always made when I was younger for Very Special Occasions (like my grandmother’s 70th birthday, or my uncle’s “I’m moving to England” party). It is just perfect. When I first started to get into baking in a big way, it was the cake I made for my boyfriend’s birthday. I just can’t possibly ever get enough of it. It is light and airy yet moist. It is so deeply chocolatey. It is just… perfection.
I love me some Truffles!!!
Homemade chocolate chip cookies, warm from the oven with a big glass of cold milk.
a hot mug of cocoa with some dark chocolate curls sprinkled over the whipped cream. YUM
This is absolutely gorgeous! Too pretty to eat!
My favorite chocolate treat is the raw chocolate ganache torte from a bakery down the street
My favorite way to eat chocolate is staight from the block. Chip off a small chunk of heaven and nibble on it with some good port, or a good cup of Joe! I never say no to great ganache either, ha.
I love truffles :)
My favorite chocolate treat is chocolate chip cookies made with dark bittersweet chocolate.
Every time someone asks me about my favourite chocolate treat my mind wanders back to the images of flowing chocolate rivers from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory….but alas, I have yet to be successful in finding this Utopia! Thus, until that day arrives, I satisfy my chocolate cravings with dark chocolate champagne truffles! YUMMY!
My favorite chocolate treat is chocolate crinkle cookies covered in powdered sugar and of course w/ milk choco chips inside! Yummy!!
My favourite chocolate treat is a fresh-out-of-the-oven slightly underbaked chocolate chip cookie with a strong undercurrent of buttery goodness. Consider this my first entry please, really excited to enter!
Just posted a link to this contest on my Facebook profile page, and also reshared it on my http://www.facebook.com/frostandfete business page.
While I wish I could make it to the class I’d settle for chocolate! My favorite chocolate treat is just a basic square of dark chocolate. Yummy.
My favorite chocolate treat is candied orange peel dipped in the best dark chocolate I can afford!
Anything with dark chocolate! Love that stuff :)
Favorite chocolate is Ghiradelli 100% baking discs! They’re addictive! Probably wouldn’t be able to go to the class, though :(
I love any chocolate, even white (which isn’t really chocolate at all!).
I love dark chocolate with caramel and sea salt. So your tart looks as if it would definitely be a favorite of mine!
I am not able to attend the class, but would be the happiest chocolatey girl in the world to win some of these lovelies you’ve posted :) My favorite chocolatey treat? Ohh myy…I’d have to say that one of my favs is a caramel peanut topped brownie cake right now.
My absolute favorite chocolate treat is a simple bittersweet chocolate tart in an old cocolat cookbook my grandmother gave me when I was 12. Really started my love for baking, and further encouraged my love of chocolate (not as though that needed help)
I also shared on facebook, maybe I can convince some friends to make the tart with me this weekend
I love my grandmother’s Chocolate Mousse Pie! It has serious chocolate flavour and lots of love baked in. I’d love to go to the class! :)
I can never choose just ONE favorite chocolate treat!! There are just too many ways to enjoy the heaven we call chocolate! :) But a new recent fave is melting dark chocolate and coconut oil and using it on ummm EVERYthing! YUM, so rich! I would LOVE to win some chocolate :)
I tweeted the giveaway :)
My favorite chocolate dessert is a warm brownie sundae! Unfortunately, I cannot attend the class.
I posted this giveaway on Facebook! I hope I win :)
Mmm, good combination! Salty Caramel and Chocolate!
I always love dark chocolate covered marzipan from Niederegger myself. Would LOVE to take a chocolate class at Bonnie Gordon and I live down the street from the school! Sweet!
Favorite chocolate treat? Pretty much anything! Right now I am digging fruit & nut Toblerone.
My favorite chocolate treat has got to be a quality s’more where the chocolate is all melty and the marshmellow is perfectly toasted
I loooovvveee molten chocolate cake with ice cream. Thanks for offering the giveaway!
how can one have an all time favorite?!?! It changes from time to time, and right now, I love chocolate pancakes with chocolate syrup and raspberries.
Great blog! Love it!
forgot to say that Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts is definitely way out of my area, just in case ;-)
I like dark chocolate – in any form whatsoever
My favorite chocolate dessert- truffles. hands down. with a nice smooth soft ganache center… MMMMmmmmmmmm (can’t attend the class, though it would be a DREAM come true!!!)
consider this post tweeted! @knacknack :) Thanks for being so delicious!
I’ve *also shared on FB- I hope luck is on my side for this one! yay!
My favourite chocolate treat is almond and sponge toffee clusters dipped in chocolate (from Chocolateria).
I am able to attend the Bonnie Gordon class – in fact I’m in a class there next weekend.
My husband would love this tart!

I am a chocolate molten lava cake fan. However, love truffles/ganache as well. And…I have a chocolate syrup recipe that’s great on EVERYTHING…so many delicious options, so little time. And while I would LOVE the class, I would never be excused from Thanksgiving weekend at the in-laws:) (Someone has to bring the chocolate!)Love your site.
This tart sounds spectacular!! Without a doubt my favourite chocolate treat is a hot fudge brownie sundae, with chocolate peanut butter ice cream OHMYWORD-YUM.
This looks incredible, I need to make this tart sometime soon!
My absolute favorite chocolate treat is a dark chocolate fudge cake with dark chocolate pudding filling! Delicious and decadent! And dark chocolate chip cookies are always my go-to treat. Nothing is better than dark chocolate!
Just tweeted! @diana_copeland
Really, really looking forward to making this tart!
I wish I could attend those classes but I’m away for school. I’d love to be entered int he chocolate giveaway! I’ve been on the hunt for good quality chocolate to use in baking…I have to choose just one favourite chocolate dessert? I think anything with chocolate included is good with me =)
honestly, i am more than good with anything even vaguely chocolatey.
Much too hard to pick a favorite! I love all things that are deep chocolatey!
I have lots of favorites, but one of mine is my wife’s Devil’s food cake with a dark chocolate ganache.
Hard to pick one thing, but I really really really love a fudgy chocolate brownie.
Man, that tart looks awesome. Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend the class (I live in Pennsylvania). :[ But my favorite chocolate baked good is definitely chocolate stout cake. Guinness is a must!
From scratch chocolate cake and frosting. Not too fancy, but clean and classic chocolate cannot be beat!
My favorite is chocolate cupcakes

I love anything chocolate. Seriously! haha my favorite may be brownies though.

My fave chocolate treat is a peanut butter s’more, made extra special but substituting a Dark Reese’s PB cup for the usual chocolate- YUM :D

My favorite types of chocolate are almost any sort of truffle. So much flavor packed into a little ball of chocolate! So amazing.
Sadly, I would not be able to go to Bonnie Gordon College. :/
My favourite chocolate treat would have to be Nigella Lawson’s receipe for Devil’s Food Cake, it’s the lightest most delicious chocolate cake I’ve ever made!!! Following a close second is your Rich & Dark Chocolate Cake, which went down a treat at my brother in-laws recent engagement party!

I love truffles! I would love to attend the class but I sadly can’t.

I’d love to be able to attend, but unfortunately not a possibility. As for my favorite chocolate treat, I’d have to say that would be a truffle. Thanks for all the awesome tasty treats to test out.
I definetly will always love chocolate cupcakes. And brownies!
I am in LOVE with a chocolate peanut butter tart from the LCBO’s magazine a few years ago! It’s amazingly simple and delicious! I can definitely attend the BG class!!!!!! Oh pick me!! :)
It really depends for me. I have a soft spot for any kind of Lindor truffle. But also brownies, especially super-chocolately I-promise-you-really-don’t-want-to-know-what’s-in-these brownies. And my favourite chocolate cake smothered in super-rich buttercream. Really, I’m not super picky as long as it’s chocolate :)
chocolate cake with swiss meringue buttercream or chocolate ganache!
i CAN attend the class!
I love your site..i love black forest gateau..
reena
Wow, that tart looks chocolately divine! I will HAVE to try it! When I’m not home alone, or I’ll end up eating it all myself.
My favourite chocolate treat, homemade Rum & Raisin Chocoalte Truffles, recipe from the Barefoot Contessa. They are chocolate heaven! :)
I think you are evil. So evil, in fact that I think I’m going to have to make this tart for Thanksgiving!
My favorite chocolate treat to make are these wonderful (and incredibly decadent) chocolate brownies that I love to make.
Favourite chocolately treat? Lindt fleur de sel. Tout simplement!
I tweeted and YES, I can attend the classes and desperately want to!!!
Wow what a fabulous tart and a fabulous giveaway! Sadly, and as much as I would LOVE to attend the class, I can’t, but I would certainly know how to put the chocolate to good use! And now you know that a tart like this is on my to-do list…. already have the salted butter caramel and chocolate ganache made.
Oh dear, I forgot to tell you my favorite chocolate treat but how? Maybe a fabulously dense chocolate layer cake with mocha frosting. For candy, chocolate-covered marshmallows. Absolutely!
Tweeting…
My favourite chocolate treat has got to be a recipe I found recently for a Chocolate Stout Cake. Instead of Guiness I uses a double-chocolate stout – tasted like liquid chocolate and not beer. Made an incredibly rich batter that produced an extremely tall cake. WOW and YUM!
I love love …LOVE my moms chocolate kosher cake…..its so light
And rich at the sametime…..to die for.
I can attend the class! Pretty pleaseeeee

Oh man what a chocolatey masterpiece! It would be amazing to win that much chocolate :)
I shared on Facebook :)
I received the miette cookbook as a gift ladt month and made the chocolate cake – best choco cake I’ve EVER had! I live in Toronto and would love to attend te classes. I start a george brown baking class in January. Baking is slowly taking over my life. :)
The Baked Brownie–it’s amazing!! I WISH I lived anywhere near Toronto now.
I love chocolate eclair dessert. My mom makes it and it is to die for!
My favorite chocolate treat is a brownie.
I love dark, rich, fudgey brownies! Ahhh So good :D
Tweeted!
Oh my! I think my mouth is seriously watering right now! Salted caramel… awww!
Duh, also the favourite chocolate treat is really difficult to chose… I’d say oreo brownies, but I can’t stop thinking about a chocolate-truffle flavoured dessert made by “La lechera” (a Spanish brand) which I really LOVE! It’s something like a pannacotta but with a really decadent and intense chocolate flavour!
Also, I just shared it with my friends on facebook! In Spanish and English!
P.S.: I forgot to tell you I can’t go to the classes, it’s awfully sad! Also, I don’t know if they’ll be able to ship the chocolate internationally, but I’ll try anyway as it’s not specifyed! :D
Aaaand twitted!
I am a lover of chocolate, caramel and salt, so this might have to be my ultimate favorite chocolate dessert. Second would be a super fudgy cake with dark chocolate fudge frosting.
I love anything chocolate, and my favorite thing used to be Olive Garden’s Chocolate Lasagna dessert. Too bad they discontinued it a few years ago! I have not been able to recreate it either! Booo! I’d love to be entered to win the chocolate. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it to the classes though, although I wish I could! It sounds like it would be so much fun and AMAZING!
Your Traditional Devil’s Food Cake is amazing, by the way! I used it the other day for a Halloween cake I decorated. It was so moist and yummy!
I love this chocolate frosting that my grandma used to make for me every birthday! :)
I consider myself a chocoholic so I love plain truffles with just a little bit of confectioners sugar! :)
Love this tart & giveaway! :D
My favorite Chocolate Treat is a Sour Cream Mocha Cake with a [purple] Cream Cheese White Mocha Frosting! (I call it Mocha Royale & yes, my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it.)
Facebook shared! All this talk about chocolate makes me want to raid the cupboard for Halloween candies!
I love dark chocolate–as is! For baked desserts, I really love a good brownie. I have a recipe that has peanut butter cups cooked into a pan of brownies, then covered with chocolate ganache. It’s pretty delicious! I also make a Mud Cake, which is a brownie covered with marshmallow creme, then topped with chocolate frosting. Peanut Butter Dream is a dessert I love; however, I don’t make it (I but it from a restaurant in Corvallis, OR). It has caramel, roasted peanuts, peanut butter mousse, and chocolate ganache. oh, you shouldn’t get me started. I love chocolate!
I’ve never been to Toronto (hope this is open to the U.S.) but, if I won, I’d sure try to make the trip.
Thanks for the giveaway.

Oh My Goodness! I would have to say Chocolate Ganache is my absolute favourite! Use it on any kind of dessert to elevate it, but really, the BEST part, is the left over bit in the bowl in the fridge. Sneak a swipe at every entry! Grab some grapes or banana pieces and dip those too! And, all too often I see little tiny kiddie swipes in there too :)
I am close to London Ontario, and my absolute dream is to attend Bonnie Gordon school for a class! I would make the drive both of those nights for sure! As a matter of fact, I have put it on my Christmas wish list on the fridge- just one class Santa, thats all I ask! I hope I’m not on the naughtly list this year so I may have the chance to attend!
Thank you for the opportunity!

This tart looks delicious! My favorite chocolate dessert is definitely brownies! Although chocolate cake comes in a close second!
I love flavored truffles. Pomegranant is my favorite flavor.
I have tweeted, liked on FB and shared on FB; my favorite chocolate dessert is a Death By Chocolate cake that Neiman Marcus used to carry and a friend who was one of their bakers gave me the recipe. I love it and make it only on special occasions
Oh that tart. Oh, oh, oh.
My most recent chocolate addiction is Coco brownies made with browned butter. http://www.amber-hinds.com/2011/10/cocoa-brownies-with-browned-butter-and-walnuts/ They’re magical.
All-time favorite chocolate treat is a rich and decadent slice of chocolate cake covered in mocha buttercream!
Oh, I love chocolate truffles! I make them with Bailey’s for the holidays :)
And I could completely get myself to the classes from Montreal :)
Oh that looks absolutely gorgeous. I’m afraid my favourite chocolate treat is that chocolate melty cake idea. I know it’s supposed to be ‘passe’ now but … melty chocolate. how can that be wrong?
Also, I tweeted at @jjloa for the contest too :)
Homemade dark chocolate chip cookies with fresh shelled pecans, alltime favorite.

Chocolate lava cakes! Warm chocolate cake and chocolate batter…what could be better?? Except with a glass of red wine. Now I just want to see if I could put peanut butter in the middle.
I don’t know how to choose my favorite chocolate treat. i love chocolate cake, but chocolate truffles are a close second! Unfortunately, I wouldn’t be able to make the classes, but would love to be entered to win the chocolates.
I can’t make the class, but I love love love dark chocolate. I love a good moist chocolate cake with yummy chocolate frosting and chocolate shavings on the side. Yummo!
I can’t make the class as I live in Australia but I ADORE dark chocolate. My favourite chocolate dessert is a chocolate cake by chef Damian Pignolet from his book French that is to die for! Here is the recipe if you are interested..http://www.lifestylefood.com.au/recipes/472/eves-chocolate-cake.
I just linked to the recipe on our Facebook page Sweetie Darling. I hope other people make this recipe as I am going to! I certainly presses all of my buttons. :-)
For good measure I just tweeted about your recipe as @sweetkatysusie. :-)
I CAN attend :) I absolutely love ganache, poured, whipped, tucked inside a truffle! Yummmmm:)
I think my current favourite chocolate dessert is just delicious chocolate cake, filled with salted caramel buttercream and chocolate ganache over the top… mmmm :)
My favourite is “MY” brownies (not just any brownies, the ones that I make) & yes, I can attend the class

wow that tart looks ah-may-zing! chocolate and caramel is a recipe for success for sure.
thanks for the awesome giveaway, I would loved to be entered in the giveaway, im in Australia so I cant make it to the truffle class (slightly devestated) but the Cacao Barry prize would be wonderful!
fav choc treat would have to be brownies or churros with chocolate dipping sauce, yum!
Fran’s grey salt dark chocolate caramels are the best thing I have ever tasted. Ever. (Clearly pushing this tart to the top of my to bake list).
This looks absolutely amazing! My favorite chocolate treat is a fresh baked fudgy brownie:-)
wow, I can’t wait to try this tart. Had a salted mocha at Starbucks recently and love the salt sweet combinations.
I’d have to say that today I really love chocolate ganache. Cold by the spoon rich chocolate ganache. Yum.
My favorite chocolate treat is my mom’s chocolate sponge roll cake that is layered with chocolate whipped cream and fresh raspberries. Love the combination of chocolate and fruit in a dessert. But this one looks spectacular too!
I have recently become obsessed with salted caramel so this looks soo good!
My favorite chocolate treat is chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse and milk chocolate ganache. I dream about it.
Love anything chocolate..mousse, cheesecake, brownies..they’re all great! I would be able to attend those classes.
One of my all-time favorite chocolate desserts is a chocolate souffle. I make it at Christmas for my family using a classic Julia Child recipe, and it is to die for.
I love anything with chocolate and caramel, and I’d love to attend the class too!
I just made the Dark chocolate salted caramel tart and it is now my favourite chocolate dessert. So yummy had hide it so I would not eat the whole thing!!!
80% Cacao dipped strawberries and marshmellows, Oh My!
P.S I would be able to (and honored to) attend the class with my baking partner in crime ( My MOM!)
I adore chocolate and chocolate desserts. Chocolate truffles are the bomb, velvety bars of dark chocolate, chocolate mousse cakes. My favourite chocolate treat would have to be Ed’s red hot chili chocolate gelato, right here in Toronto. (Located on Queen @ Lesliville and @ beaches, Ed’s is home of ice cream and gelato.)
Warm Chocolate brownies! I would love to win the chocolate, but can’t come to the class!
Thanks for the give-a-way!
That tart looks incredible! Once I try it, it just might become my favorite chocolate treat :) But until then…I have to go with a simple, moist chocolate cake. Thanks for offering such an awesome giveaway! (I wish so badly that I could attend the class)
I love chocolate eruption cake! It’s a chocolate mousse cake with chunks of cheese cake in it. I won’t be able to attend the class : ( but I would be happy to win the chocolate : )
I’ve always wanted to try to make my own Chocolate Sorbet, as that just sounds silly delicious. But my favourite chocolate recipe that is yet to be replaced, is chocolate pudding. It’s simple, it’s decadent and is SO EASY and FAST to make. Can’t beat that!
This tart looks amazing! I love chocolate paired with caramel. For my birthday last month, I made the 6 layer chocolate cake with caramel between the layers in the November Martha Stewart Living. It was amazing! And I think it’s my current fave.
And I shared the salted caramel chocolate tart on facebook – I know my friends will love it!
I can’t attend the class but I would love to win the chocolate. Thanks for the chance to win. My fav. chocolate treat is a moist chocolate cake.
Best chocolate treat is a slice of Death by chocolate cake :) ; sorry I can’t attend those classes although I wish I could

I absolutely looooove brownies (and blondies. For a pure chocolate treat, nothing beats >70% Green&Blacks choc.
Chocolate Raspberry truffles are my favourite!!!!
I recently made pumpkin truffles that were pretty amazing, and after taking a chocolate treats and truffles class at the French Culinary Institute last winter, I have been absolutely hooked on trying all sorts of great new combinations! Love this giveaway and also the recipe, I can’t wait to try it!
I love anything chocolate, but if I had to pick one it would be a rich chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate mousse filling. I would appreciate an opportunity to attend a class at Bonnie Gordon.
I’ve just shared you on Facebook. I’m thanking a friend who forwarded to me one of your recipes! Now, on to tweet about you!
I would love to try the fleur de sel Tart and plan on making it for the Thanksgiving dessert for a family gathering.
In love with a rich chewy brownie, loaded with nuts and chocolate icing!!
Although I can not attend the class please enter me in the rest. thanks!!
I love anything CHOCOLATE~ cookies, cakes, and pies.
It is so hard to beat a good hot, fudgy brownie with ice cream and fudge on top.
This was AMAZING! I made a couple variations — some ganache with chopped pecans and some without, some with caramel and some without. All of them were delish! Thank you so much for your recipe and helpful instructions! :)

I have to say that my favorite chocolate dessert is devil’s food cake. So Delicious!!
I love brownies and hot chocolate!
Oh decisions decisions…I would have to say Dark chocolate raspberry brownie! The tartness of the raspberry’s really pop against the chocolate!
Wish I could attend the class… sounds wonderful! My favorite chocolate treat is either a molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream (sigh) or my mom’s chocolate cake, which is the just the cake on the back of the Hershey’s Cocoa tin (sigh again).

I love this kind of tart … and i’m going to try it !
My favorite is brownies! Mint chocolate brownies. And I can’t wait to try this tart! Looks divine.
Chocolate Pudding! Oh and German Chocolate Pie!
Sorry can’t make it to Canada for the class but wish I could.
My favourite chocolate treat is my Mom’s old fashioned chocolate cake – great with ice cream of course. A close second (sadly not homemade) are the Girl Guide chocolatey mint cookies (especially straight from the fridge)….mmmm.
I forgot to add that I can attend the class – I’m from Toronto

I think my favorite would have to be anything chocolatey that you make, all of the baking are such dreamy works of art.
I love chocolate and sea salt truffles. I can’t make it to Canada but in my dreams I will.
I love truffles but cannot attend the classes so just give me the chocolate and I will be a happy girl:)

I am a huge fan of chocolate and pecan turtles. No matter how upset I am, a gooey bundle of caramel, chocolate and pecans always makes me feel better. My fiance sometimes leaves me a little box of turtles on my table – especially when it’s been a long, hard day at work. I looooooooooooooooove chocolate and have been wanting to take candy-making classes for a while now. I live in Waterloo so hopping over to Toronto is not a problem for me. And these tarts look delish!

It might be possible for me to attend class…maybe….
regardless, I want some chocolate.
My favourite chocolate dessert is one I made once a long time ago for valentines day- a small chocolate tart with hazelnut crust and milk chocolate filling and dark chocolate top. Your tart just reminded me of it and how good it was.
My absolute favorite chocolate treats are chocolate star cookies. They are a cookie we make around Christmas (i’d make them all the time if they weren’t so much work!) They are a fishy cookie pressed through the star cookie press plate, baked, and filled with a heavenly ganache. Last they are sprinkled with powdered sugar. My birthday is Thursday… Now that I think of it.. i may just make some for myself :) love your blog!
I wouldn’t be able to attend the class, but chocolate is wonderful! I guess I prefer straight, unadorned chocolate. But I’ve been known to indulge in a truffle or twelve.
I’d love to be entered in the giveaway!
My favorite chocolate treat would have to be Chocolate cake.
i would love to win a class at Bonnie Gordon’s school- what an honour that would be. my favourite chocolate dessert is a dark chocolate tart.
your blog drives everyone at work crazy- too many gorgeous photos!

Oh god, that looks amazing! My favorite chocolate treat…. gosh, it really depends. But for a serious chocolate craving, one truffle, one really, really good truffle, is the best cure. :)

I always keep a stash of Lindt 85% bars to snack on. They are the best! I can’t attend the class but would love to win some chocolate!
My favorite chocolate desserts are Meyer lemon with thyme truffles and chocolate truffle tarts.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It’s perfect for an upcoming dinner party with friend whose favorite combo is chocolate and salted caramel.
I can definitely make the Bonnie Gordon chocolate class—delicious!
My favorite chocolatey dessert is chocolate caramel truffles. Honestly anything with chocolate and caramel together I fall in love with-brownies, cookies, cakes, or tarts (as your post brilliantly pointed out)-i just can’t help it. It is the best combination by far!
The tart looks amazing! My favourite is plain old chocolate cake with chocolate icing. I’m available for the class. Thanks for the opportunity!
Made this over the weekend – YUM! I’ll definitely be on a chocolate-and-caramel kick now…
Looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it!
truffles, truffles and more truffles please!
My favorite chocolate is dark chocolate in the form of a truffle – so pure and simple.
My favorite chocolate treat is a small bowl of melted, dark chocolate (El Rey perhaps) with a banana for dipping.
My fav chocolate treat might just be the newly discovered Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Tart. This will be the weekend project. Also, I would love to attend the class.
Anything with dark chocolate and peanut butter together!
I would absolutely love to win this. Chocolate is my all time favourite food :) If I had to pick, it would definitely be truffles. Pure chocolate heaven!!!
I can’t attend the class, but my favorite chocolate dessert is Julia Child’s Queen of Sheba cake. It’s a one-layer French chocolate cake, and so delicious.
Fave choc thing: chocolate dipped oreos
My favorite chocolate dessert is my homemade truffles made with Jacque Torres’ 85% “bean to bar” chocolate bar. i add a little smoked sea salt to the top of each. Simply devine!

This. Is. Awesome. The recipe AND the giveaway! I love almost anything chocolate, but I found a fantastic recipe for brownies with a port ganache a few years ago, and…mmmmmmmmm. I don’t make it often because my waistline would be even bigger (ahem) but it is FANTASTIC. :)
Tweeted! https://twitter.com/#!/freakazojd
Facebooked! :) (If that’s under a different e-mail address, does that matter?) :)
How neat!! Love the insight into your baking career. I cannot attend, but I would some chocolate!! My fav chocolate treat is cake. I cannot lie. :)
I love all things chocolate but if I had to pick only one it would be black forest cake. There’s just something about it that speaks to me. Particularly my thighs. But it’s so worth it. Love that this is a Canuck giveaway. We so rarely get to enter them so this is quite fun.
The tart is amazing as always. I wish I had your mad skills. Next giveaway should be lessons with you!!
That looks truly decadent!! I really love a good dark chocolate Lava Cake made with dark couverture chocolate. The moist cake/muffin outer with the unexpected gooey lava centre is a foolproof winner for any occasion!! :)
Tweeted!
My favorite chocolate treat would have to be homemade old fashioned fudge. Oh pure bliss♥
And FB’d!
I love anything chocolate, but have to say my new Favorite is Lindt Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt. I’m never without in my desk drawer, But try not to eat more than 1 or 2 pieces once a week. I have also discovered that eating dark chocolate after 8 o’clock usually keeps me awake all night. I cannot attend the classes in Toronto this month, but would love to bake with the Deluxe Chocolate!
So far, my favorite chocolate treat is a warm flourless chocolate waffle served at Silverado’s in Virginia. It’s divine!!

Oh great Goddess, that tart is killing me! My favorite chocolate treat is my girlfriend’s Salted Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes, simply to die for! Hence that tart…killing me softly.
I tweeted about this giveaway for sure!

My favourite chocolaty treat is a chocolate torte with chocolate mousse filling topped with chocolate ganache. Yes, I love Chocolate, LOL.
WOW! Seriously? A favorite chocolatey treat? How can I choose? LOL! I LOVE ANYTHING with DARK CHOCOLATE!!!! Well a dark chocolate cake is just fabulous! I wouldn’t be able to attend the class since I live way down here in South Texas but I would love a chance to win some chocolatey goodness! :-D
Dark chocolate sorbet. I can’t attend the class, but I’m in for the chocolate!
Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate ganache and more chocolate on top with some chocolate milk and a chocolate bar…
This tart looks amazing! I think I am too late for the giveaway, but here goes anyway: I love chocolate cake!
I love all your recipes! you’re an amazing baker! every one of your cakes looks so delicious. My favorite chocolate treat are chocolate souffles :)
All these comments and no one has made this? There is NO WAY that caramel temperature is correct. 340 degrees? It will burn at that temperature. This has to be a typo.
Jack, these comments were giveaway entries, so the post-baking discussion that normally occurs couldn’t be expressed in the comments. To answer your concern about the temperature, it is indeed 340°F for the caramel, but it is important to have an accurate candy thermometer. As you can see in the photos, the caramel was not burnt.
I made this tart last Saturday and 340′F is correct, my caramel worked out 100% and this is now a ‘please make this tart again’ favourite for my family.
So glad to hear you loved it, Eugenia–I do too!
This looks to DIE for good!
Wow!!! I made this tart this past weekend and it is a seriously decadant delicious chocolate treat!!! As always your instructions are perfect and it all worked out wonderfully. Thank you tahnk you !!! :)
This tart is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Fantastic blog!
I made this recipe for our Thanksgiving dessert; it was a show stopper. Thank you!
We’re having an office “bake-off” on Wednesday. This tart will be my entry and I’m planning to W-I-N!
{drooling}
I featured your tart on my blog today :)
http://blog.shopdirtylaundry.com/posts/2011/12/30/39-the-dirty-2011-trends.html
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hi, I just wanted to let you know I made this (with a little change: chopped pecans in the caramel filling to add a little crunch) and loved it. I recently discovered your blog and really enjoy it. Your directions were really easy to follow. I posted about it and linked back to you. Hope you don’t mind!
My favorite chocolate item is pretty simple. Homemade chocolate cake, with a homemade chocolate icing. Chocolate is so divine, anytime.
This is so seriously amazing and decadent! I just made it and it wasn’t that difficult at all. I looked at the recipe for a month thinking it was so time consuming and hard and it really wasn’t. Definitely a fav and will be making again!
