Notes
Things to look out for
When cooking the caramel - don't walk away. The caramel could burn and that would be very sad.
What to do with leftovers
Store leftover chocolate tart in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. It can also be kept at room temperature.
Substitutions/Additions
Different flavors of oreos can be used, but... stick with the regular stuffed kind vs the double stuffed.
You can use a pre made tart shell instead of the Oreo tart crust if you prefer.
