This is what happens when you're impatient:

Fact: when you cut a piece of the chocolate salted caramel tart, you should be left with a slice missing.

NAILED IT.

I'm no rookie when it comes to making caramel, but this particular caramel never turned the dark shade of amber it should have and also never thickened up, even though I left it in the fridge over night. The result? A caramel tart filling that oozed out before making it anywhere near home plate - leaving me with a slice of overdone chocolate crust topped with bittersweet ganache, all soaked in a puddle of goo.

You win some, you lose some.
