Decoration Tips
- Drizzle melted chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a gourmet finish.

- Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience.
Ingredients
- For the Chocolate Shell:
- 300g semisweet chocolate, suitable for coating
- For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 155g wine biscuits, finely ground
- 80g melted butter
- 1 + 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- Additional:
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter (for spreading under the chocolate layer)
- Prepare the Chocolate Shell: Gently melt the semisweet chocolate until smooth. Pour half of the melted chocolate into a tart pan, ensuring it evenly coats the bottom and sides. Let it set in the refrigerator.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: Combine 1 cup of peanut butter, ground wine biscuits, melted butter, and powdered sugar in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Assemble the Tart: Spread 4 tablespoons of peanut butter over the set chocolate base. This acts as a glue for the filling. Add the peanut butter mixture and smooth it out to form an even layer.
- Top with Remaining Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, spreading it to cover completely. Chill the tart in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve: Once set, remove the tart from the fridge and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing. This ensures the chocolate doesn't crack from being too hard.
