Malted Milk Cookie Tart

Warning: Do not eat this if you are one of those types who only eats nuts and berries you pick up off the ground. There are no healthy ingredients in this dessert -- only mostly butter and sugar. It is easily one of the tastiest, most decadent treats I've tried. So yeah, it's a a favorite recipe.

Next time I post a recipe, I'll try to make it be for vegetables a la whole grain or something like that. Maybe.

MALTED MILK BALL COOKIE TART

1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. malted milk powder
1/2 c. sugar

1 tsp. coarse kosher salt

1 c. unsalted butter, cut into 1-in. pieces (room temperature)
1/2 c. bittersweet chocolate chips (do not exceed 61% cacao)

1/2 c. malted milk ball candies, coarsely chopped

1) Preheat oven to 325. In a food processor, pulse flour, malted milk powder, sugar, and salt. Add butter' pulse until moist clumps form.

2) Transfer dough to work surface and gather into a ball. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9-in. tart pan with removable bottom (can also substitute 9-in. glass pie plate).

3) Bake crust until evenly golden brown, about 45 mins. Remove from oven and immediately scatter chocolate pieces over; let stand 5 mins. to soften, then spread melted chocolate over hot crust and into the well that will form as the center sinks.

4) Sprinkle candy pieces over top. Cool completely before removing from pan and cut into wedges to serve.
