Ice Cream and Candy Tart

This may become one of your favorite ice cream desserts.  I was watching The Chew one day just after Halloween, and watched the chefs prepare an ice cream tart.  Below is my version of this delicious tart.  One of the best things about it is that you can vary it in so many ways.  Here's the basic recipe.


                            Ice Cream and Candy Tart

Crust

2 candy bars, any kind (Hershey's or Twixt would work well)
4 large salted pretzels(the thin twisted ones, not the big fat twisted ones)
3 T. melted butter

Combine ingredients in a food processor until dry ingredients are crumbly.  Take the mixture and press it into a rectangular shaped tart pan.  Place in freezer until hard

Before making the crust, remove vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften while you make the crust.  When the crust is frozen hard, scoop softened ice cream over the crust, and spread to make it smooth.  Return tart to freezer and let the ice cream harden

Once the ice cream is hard, drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the ice cream.  Don't use too much.  Then take a few Kit Kat bars and crush them.  Take the crushed candy bars and cover the tart.  The caramel will work as a glue to keep candy from falling off,

That's it.  Slice into small servings, as it's very rich.  You will love this dessert.  You can change the recipe to suit your tastes.  Use a candy bar with peanuts for the crust, or an Almond Joy, if you like coconut.  Use any kind of ice cream you like, and you can use chocolate sauce instead of caramel.  The candy bars you crush for the topping can be anything you want too.  I love the original recipe, but may try it with some chocolate flavors, for my chocolate loving friends.  Enjoy
