Ingredients
  

  • 1 and ¾ cups 220 g salted roasted peanuts divided (for crust and filling)
  • 1 cup 125 g all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 2 tablespoons 25 g light brown sugar (for crust)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt for crust
  • ½ cup 113 g; 8 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cubed (for crust)
  • 3 tablespoons 45 ml ice water (to bind crust)
  • 1 cup 290 g homemade salted caramel (slightly warmed if prepared ahead)
  • 6 ounces 170 g milk or semi-sweet chocolate coarsely chopped (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons 31 g creamy peanut butter (for topping)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Pulse ¾ cup of peanuts, flour, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until mixture resembles small peas.
  4. Transfer mixture to a bowl and gradually stir in ice water until dough just comes together.
  5. Press dough firmly into a 9-inch tart pan using floured fingers or a flat measuring cup, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Line the crust with parchment or foil and add pie weights, or prick with a fork if weights are unavailable.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, then let cool slightly while preparing filling.
  8. Combine remaining 1 cup peanuts with salted caramel and pour evenly into the cooled crust.
  9. Melt chocolate and peanut butter together using a double boiler or microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth.
  10. Spread chocolate-peanut butter mixture over caramel and nuts. Garnish with optional toppings if desired.
  11. Refrigerate uncovered for 2 hours or until fully set.
