Maple Nut Tart Revisited

I've posted about the maple nut tart before, but this one is drizzled with chocolate. Since it was baked for someone, it took every ounce of my extremely limited willpower not to eat it.

I debated about posting this item (it was originally supposed to appear on Halloween), but eventually decided to go with it. As you can see, it is not the most attractive thing I've posted here. The pastry bag fell apart when I was piping a spiderweb on it, and there wasn't enough chocolate to spread it along the top of the tart/by the time I got more chocolate melted, the mess on top would be completely set. Even though it looks like a hot mess, I'm sure it still tasted delicious. I don't actually know if it did- my mom gave it as a gift to a coworker, and keeps forgetting to ask if it was good. It was incredibly easy to bake, so I'll be selling this one seasonally.

I found this recipe in Martha Stewart's New Pies and Tarts and figured I'd try it out now so I can make it for Thanksgiving. As you can see, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
