Makes one 9-inch tart
Ingredients
Ingredients
6 ounces graham crackers (about 11)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
15 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup salted almonds with skins, lightly toasted
3/4 cups mini marshmallows
1/4 cup salted almonds with skins, lightly toasted and coarsely chopped
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
Directions
Make crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Process graham crackers, sugar, and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl, and stir in melted butter. Mix until combined.
Pour mixture into a 9-inch cake ring or springform pan set on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press crumbs with your hand or the bottom of a glass to form an even layer on bottom and up sides of pan. Bake until crust just starts to turn golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack.
Make ganache: Melt 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water; keep warm. Meanwhile, bring cream just to a simmer in a medium saucepan over high heat; remove from heat. Whisk 1/4 cup hot cream into the beaten egg yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture into the remaining cream in saucepan. Whisk cream mixture into the melted chocolate, and set the ganache aside.
Coarsely chop remaining 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, and transfer to a large bowl. Toss in 2 cups mini marshmallows and 1 cup whole toasted almonds. Scatter mixture all over bottom of cooled crust. Reserve 1 cup ganache for topping, and pour the rest evenly on top of the filling (do not overfill the crust). Refrigerate tart, uncovered, until firm, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, cover reserved ganache with plastic wrap, and set aside at room temperature.
Make topping: Toss together 3/4 cup mini marshmallows, 1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds, and 2 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate; sprinkle over filling. Drizzle reserved 1 cup ganache over tart, and refrigerate 10 minutes more before cutting into slices.
Cook's Notes
To toast almonds, spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; bake at 350 degrees until fragrant, 10 minutes. Tart can be refrigerated, covered, up to 3 days.

This was decent, but for some reason my marshmallows got gummy and it was hard to cut into slices. I threw most of it away but I probably did something wrong =D

This tart makes a great presentation! My family rated it a 7 out of 10 overall. I would make two changes to the recipe. (1) Put chopped nuts on the inside instead of whole nuts. The whole nuts fall out when being eaten and are too difficult to pick up with the fork. I would chop the almonds into large pieces, maybe into halves. (2) As someone else said, one cup of reserved ganache is too much to drizzle over the top. I would reserve only 1/2 cup for the drizzle.

I made this to take to a party and it was a huge hit. Most definitely a crowd pleaser. I made mine in a tart pan, not a springform. It came out a little thinner than the one in the picture, but, was attractive and delicious.

I LOVED this recipe! I loved the saltiness from the almonds in contrast to the sweetness of the marshmallows and chocolate. I loved the different textures of the soft marshallows and the crunchy almonds. I looks very impressive. I didn't think a whole cup needed to be reserved to drizzle over the top. I only used, maybe half of it. I think the crust needed more butter to hold it together, because when I cut it into slices, it fell apart into crumbs. DELISH! Definite keeper!
