directions
- FOR CRUST: Combine flour and sugar in a food processor.

- (I used a 9-inch pan with very little crust and filling left over.) (Dough can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill, but let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before filling.) FOR FILLING: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all toasted nuts in a food processor; chop coarsely, using on/off turns.
- Whisk corn syrup, brown sugar, and melted butter in a large bowl to blend.
- Whisk in eggs and vanilla extract.
- Mix in chocolate chips, then nuts.
- Transfer filing to the prepared crust.
- Bake tart until firmly set in center and top is deep golden brown, about 50 minutes.
- Cool tart in pan on rack 30 minutes.
- Push up pan bottom to release tart.

These were really, really, really good! Great, even. I made a small change and made this recipe into individual, 3" round tarts, and I used chunked up bittersweet chocolate in place of the chips, but other than that, the recipe stayed the same. We loved them! Sweet and nutty - this would in no way be the same if you used raw nuts. The toasting really sends the flavor soaring. I really loved these. I thought they looked elegant, had a great texture, and really "wow"ed my husband. Plus they passed the "toddler" test, so they will definitely be made again. I especially like these as individual tarts - great filling - thank you so much, Miss Gracie.
