Mini Salted Nutella Tart recipe. Hi All! So I know I say it all the time, but…..I don’t have a sweet tooth. I really wish I had one, but I just don’t.

Maybe it’s because sometimes my parents and I tend to order a few appetizers to share after a big meal instead of a dessert or two to split (true story).

In my mind a piece of cake will never look as appetizing as a cheeseburger, I’ll always walk away from a cream puff, to indulge in a pate and cheese plate and saying no to ice cream is no big, while short-ribs? There’s one exception to this….Nutella. Back to Nutella…it’s great; today we have an awesome and super simple salted Nutella tart recipe for you all. Salted Nutella Tarts Makes 12 Directions: 1.

Years ago, on what turned out to be a 16 hour layover, I was stuck in Pescara Italy. For dessert was a lemon tart. I’ve done my best to make the beer infused version of the tart that was made for me in Pescara, and chose a beer that is nearly as fascinating to me. Drunken Strawberry Tart with Beer Lemon Curd.

So, for his birthday this year, when he asked me to make something ‘guilt free’ I KNEW it had to be something chocolate. And so the pondering began…What could I could make that was worthy of a ‘chocoholics’ birthday, yet still allows you to fit into your jeans the next day ?
