When the craving for a simple, non-fussy Chocolate-Caramel Tart demands to be satisfied, I head straight for Trois Pommes Patisserie. The dark chocolate cookie crust comes filled with layers of buttery caramel and then silky chocolate ganache. There's a perfect one to one ratio of each, and a sprinkle of fleur de del to finish. They have regular sized tarts for $6, but I prefer the mini tartlets at $2. That way you can pair it with a cup of their steaming matcha latte for a complete afternoon snack.
