    I followed Giada's recipe to the "T". And I have to say it came out perfect!. I served it at my church family's house, and all could hear was great things about it. I was told it tasted like a candy bar.
    And coming from a kid, that's confirmation enough.

    Thank FN.

    Well, I haven't tasted it yet, but I followed the recipe exactly, and it doesn't look anything like Giada's picture there. Mine is more yellow than chocolatey looking. I'm very afraid.

    The key to making this work (besides following the directions is letting this torte cool! Let it cool so that it sets up. Even after 1.5 hours of cooling, the inside was still warm. I couldn't find hazelnuts, so I used and crushed the contents of a 5oz can of almonds, toasted them in the oven while I was assembling the ingredients, and bam! I'd do this one again because of the ease.

    Well I followed the reciepe but the inside just turned into a gooey corn syrup mess....the outside looked pretty and the crust baked perfect... i mean it takes good but I can scrap out the corn syrup where the chocolate didnt melt and thats another thing the chocolate pieces stayed in piece they didnt melt into the bars... i dont know but i love giada and this one just didnt work... i might try using the suggestion for 3/4 of corn syrup and 1/4 cup of nutella. but geez Hazelnuts are 6.00 at trader joes.. not cheap.

    I made this for Valentine's Day because I love the hazelnuts and chocolate. Although some reviewers claimed that this tastes just like Nutella, it tastes NOTHING like it. Nutella is made of milk chocolate, and it has a nice balance between chocolate and hazelnut. This "tart" tasted completely of chocolate. Because most of the hazelnuts floated to the top, you barely taste them. The hazelnut top also hardened well before the tart set. It didn't have a chewy consistency like Giada said in the video. Instead, it was just mushy in the middle and hard on top. I even par-baked the pie crust to avoid any mushiness. It was also far too sweet. I served it with some fresh whipped cream to cut the sweetness, but it was still too sweet. It was very pretty when it came out of the oven, but it tasted horrible.

    I made this as a dessert for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a huge hit. It is incredibly rich and tasty and so very easy to make.

    This is my new go-to pie recipe. I started making my own crust and that makes it that much better. It can be a little sweet, so I am going to try it with butter scotch chips instead of chocolate to see how that works. Yummy!! A new holiday and pot luck tradition!

    I made this for a bridal shower and it was a hit. I switched the sugar with splenda to try and make it a bit more healthier and it still turned out great... Also I used walnuts because my grocery store didn't carry hazelnuts and everything worked out fine.

    Baked this for last nights Thanksgiving Dinner and now my whole family wants me to bake another! I'm eating the last slice as I write this, delicious.

    I listened to one of the posters about cutting down the corn syrup just by 1/4 of a cup and I ended up adding a little bit of nutella into the mixture (about 4 tablespoons but also included the semi sweet chocolate chips.

    Thanks Giada for this great recipe!
