Remember the Salted Chocolate Tart with a Kettle Chip Crust from last holiday season. It was a mega game changer for anyone who made it! And this year we’re stepping it up a notch with this Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Tart for my upcoming Friendsgiving party!

I’ve been a mega Kettle Brand fan since I ventured up to their headquarters a little over a year ago. The Honey Dijon variety is my weapon on choice and it’s stocked 100% of the time in the What’s Gaby Cooking kitchen. And while the Honey Dijon chips wouldn’t really play nice with a chocolate tart… the Sea Salt variety absolutely does!!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Tart Recipe

Now this is not for the faint of heart. It’s layers of Kettle Chip crust (a salty delicious concoction that you’ll want to eat all on its’ own) and layer of peanut butter, a layer of dark chocolate ganache and a peanut butter swirl on top. Whoa. Epic doesn’t even come close to describing this one! It’s 100% non-traditional, which is exactly why I’ll be serving it up at our Friendsgiving soiree this coming Sunday night. Matt is bringing the wine / hosting and I’m bringing mashed potatoes + dessert. So we’re golden! And since this dessert is best when chilled, you can easily prep this Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Tart a day ahead of time so it's ready to go the next day!!
