Bourbon and Honey Chocolate Tart

With a splash of bourbon, a drizzle of honey and a pretzel-graham cracker crust, this indulge chocolate tart is the perfect recipe for any chocolate lover!

You guys, it’s official! This weekend, over at Bourbon and Honey headquarters we celebrated our 3rd blogiversary! Can you believe it? I can’t! Someone scoop me up off the floor!

I’ve churned out about 400 delicious recipes, tons of drool worthy photos, happy hour ready cocktails and a handful of videos (more to come soon!) and of course a couple of kitchen disasters. Did I ever tell you about the time this sweet potato dish and I ended up sprawled on the living room floor during a photo shoot? No? Well, let’s save that one for our next happy hour! #FoodBloggerProblems

Since we’re celebrating 3 years, which is pretty much a teenager in food blog years, I’ve decided something a bit more sophisticated was in order. And by sophisticated I really just mean ultra indulgent and spiked with our very favorite flavors; bourbon and honey.

This chocolate tart starts with a super easy press-in-the-pan crust of pretzels and graham crackers that’s topped with an extra chocolaty filling with a swig of bourbon and a drizzle of honey to balance the flavors. Of course, we could stop there, but why? So, it’s finished off with a bourbon and honey spiked chocolate glaze. Cut the finished tart into small slices and serve with a sprinkling of salt and a giant dollop of whipped cream.

Don’t wait for an excuse, you should really make this chocolaty goodness right now so we can all eat blogiversary dessert together! Because, let’s be real, all of you cool kids are the real reason B&H is still around after 3 long years. Cheers, hugs and lots of bourbon spiked chocolate tart all around! xoxo
