This chocolate-truffle-inspired tart shows just how decadent simplicity can be. Dulce de Leche is a South American delicacy, made by cooking condensed milk into caramel -- its growing popularity means you can buy it at most stores these days. It's the perfect complement to the rich chocolate -- and the addition of flaked sea salt gives the whole thing balance and chef-like flair.

This recipe is from Tosca Reno’s Book The Eat-Clean Diet for Family and Kids. She calls them Breakfast Hermits but I think they'll go over better with the word cookie. :)
I’ve included tweaks.

Put a slim spin on fried chicken by baking with a pretzel crust instead. You'll retain the trademark crunch and flavorful taste while losing tons of unwanted calories and fat. It's a perfect recipe for a healthy home.

I had to share this recipe with all of you kitchen goddesses. I recently made it and never in my life have I seen a four layer cake eaten so quickly. It was gone 48 hours after I removed it from the oven.
