  12. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate.
  13. Continue stirring until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth.
  14. Spread 1 1/4 cup of the chocolate filling inn the bottom of the tart crust.
  15. NOTE: If you plan on topping your tart with chopped nuts, then put all the chocolate mixture in the baked tart crust.
  16. If you're not using nuts, reserve the remaining chocolate for the top layer decoration.
  17. Chill the tart crust filled with chocolate for about 30 minutes.
  18. To make the caramel, combine the sugar and water in a heavy saucepan and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
  19. Increase the heat and boil the syrup until it becomes golden brown in color, about 6-8 minutes.
  20. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the cream, butter, vanilla and salt.
  21. Be careful, the mixture will bubble up.
  22. Return to the stove and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  23. Chill for about 20 minutes.
  24. Spoon the caramel layer over the chocolate tart.
  25. If you're not using nuts, put remaining chocolate in a pastry bag and pipe decorative squiggles (technical term) or designs over the surface of the tart.
  26. You can also randomly drizzle on the chocolate.
  27. If you're using nuts, sprinkle the nuts over the caramel layer instead.
