I was so disappointed as this looked an easy and tasty recipe. Although I cut really small pieces my guests all found this tart TOO sweet for their tastes, I measured the golden syrup carefully so don't think I put too much in, I threw out the remaining 3/4 of the tart. :(

I have been making this recipe for a few years now, and it is always a favorite at parties! Initially, I had trouble with the filling overflowing in the oven as well, however, I believe it was in large part because I was absent-mindedly using the wrong type of measuring cup for the different ingredients. I must admit I am also a wee bit more conservative with my pours now. I have also had issues with the corn syrup settling, but this usually occurred when the filling overflowed. Since I have made those slight changes, everything fits into the pie perfectly! I have trouble finding peeled hazelnuts so I just toast them then roll them in a towel to remove the shells even though it can be time-consuming. I agree with other reviewers that the chocolate does not melt completely, but in my experience it melts just enough so that there is still a bit of bite to the chocolate, which I like!

I had made this "pie" a couple years ago and i loved it. I was also still very much in my sweet tooth phase. I recently made this again and although i did enjoy it, i dont remember it being the same. Will make again with different variations.

Well, after reading alot of the reviews for this recipe....I didn't get the result I thought I would. I cut the syrup and the sugar...not to mention the hazelnuts....I used 1 cup of hazelnuts and still thought I could have used less.....also...I used dark choc. chips like Giada did....however the sweetness wasn't there...it might be because I used light corn syrup.....don't really know.....will see what happens next time.

I'm a HUGE Chocolate and Hazelnut person but this was not good to me or my family. It was very sweet and very dense. A bit dry too. We topped it with some whipped cream and that did help a bit.

I was happy I did a trial run before making a tart for Thanksgiving.

The recipe itself is good, but definitely melt the chocolate chips for better incorporation otherwise you might be left with a not so chocolatey layer at the bottom of your tart. Also, like so many people have said, cut the corn syrup back to three quarters of a cup.

Turned out good on the second run ^_^

The tart was very rich and chewy in a good way. My only problems were that the top got a little hard and crunchy, not all of the chocolate chips melted. I also cut down the corn syrup to 3/4 cup and added 3 tablespoons of Nutella , which probably added to the richness.
