August challenge

Here's the Milk Chocolate and Caramel Tart (above):

I just want to say that I would never have made this if it were not a challenge...I tend to run to darker chocolate and only do the occasional caramel thing. But this was VERY popular and saved fantastically well for about 5 days in the fridge. It also focused me on the tart layering technique--these taste good separately--let's stick them together in a tart!! And the layers show as layers, always satisfying. So, THANKS!!!
I did not love the crust--perhaps I got it wrong but it seemed to have way too much baking powder in it--taste-wise only, not in puffiness--although the left-overs make great cookies!!
More to come, kidney stone stabbing a little right now, back later...
P.S. I MADE it on time, just wasn't well enough to post!!
