Ingredients:

TORTE
1 pkg. (12 oz.) bite-size peanut butter-filled chocolates, divided
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
10 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/8 teaspoon salt, divided
5 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
GANACHE GLAZE
1/2 cup whipping cream
6 oz. NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Bar, chopped

1 jar (12.5 oz.) caramel ice cream topping
1 small container gold dust or flakes

Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan. Coarsely chop all but 12 bite-size chocolates; set aside.

FOR TORTE:
MELT morsels and butter in a large metal bowl set over a saucepan of gently boiling water; stir until smooth. Remove bowl from heat; cool mixture for about 10 minutes or until lukewarm. Stir in sugar, vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in flour until thoroughly blended.

BEAT egg whites with remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Beat 1/4 of egg whites into chocolate mixture to lighten. Fold in remaining egg whites gently but thoroughly. Gently fold in chopped bite-size chocolates. Pour into prepared pan.

BAKE on middle oven rack for 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick inserted about 2 inches from edges comes out slightly sticky. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove side of pan; cool completely. Invert onto rack; remove bottom of pan. While torte cools, prepare Ganache Glaze.

FOR GANACHE GLAZE:
Bring whipping cream to a boil in a small saucepan; add chopped chocolate bar. Reduce heat to low. Stir until completely smooth. Let stand for about 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

INVERT torte onto serving platter; spread Ganache Glaze evenly over top and sides. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until ready to serve.

TO SERVE, cut torte into 12 wedges. Place remaining bite-size chocolates on top of each wedge. Drizzle serving plates with caramel topping; place torte wedge on top. Sprinkle with gold dust and gold flakes.

Fantasic recipe received so many complimednts it was worth the extra effort and time to make. I had a problem finding the peanut butter treasures so I used the caramel ones instead. Will definitely keep this in the favorites section of my recipe box.

I have made this withthe peanut butter treasures and the caramel...either way it is out of this world and the presentation is magnificent.
Fab, even without the peanut butter!

Amna Sheikh from FREMONT, CA

I wasn't in a peanut butter mood when I made this and substituted straight chocolate instead. Eaten up like nothing else. So yummy!
Golden Treasure

Lisa Kroft from MARION, IN

This is not for the faint of heart its a little more time then i wanted to spend on a dessert, but well worth it...Suggestion..serve in small pieces its very rich and off the scale on calories.
Smashing hit!

Pat Pruitt from SPRINGDALE, AR

New yers eve night I had made 2 of these for dessert. The rave reviews I got were worth all the extra effort I had put into making them. I did not think they were hard to make, just time consuming. Could not find the gold dust so I used whipped cream to decorate them. We are non alcohol drinkers so we served hot coffe and tea. I really felt good about the compliments I got and will definately use this recipe many times. In fact all the friend that were here wanted the recipe. I am very glad I get your site. I use many recipes from it and have not found a bad one yet. Some are alot better than others but all have been good. Keep up the good work.

Maria S from Bloomington, IN

This recipe was wonderful. I am not very fond id semi-sweet chocolate so I used milk chocolate instead. It was so good. I too had a difficult time finding gold dust so I used white cake gliter, it looked great. I can't wait to make this again.
Rich and Smooth

Janet Morrissey from BALTIMORE, MD

I made this for Valentine's Day in a heart-shapped pan lined with parchment paper. My husband was suitably impressed and said the gold made him feel like "a million bucks". Now that I have the gold dust, I will make this again for any special occasion or just to make any occasion special.

This is a beautiful dessert. If you are looking forward to having a piece before you go to bed, you had better make two, or there won't be any left for your bedtime snack.

Very good, but it was a little harder to make than I thought it would be. I will probably make it again.
Show stopper!

Stephanie Bernstein from Lake Worth, FL

This was a fabulous dessert. It was time consuming & I did question the recipe at times but it was beautiful & decadent. I did not find the gold dust so I adorned each slice with a raspberry & some confectioners sugar - just a dusting. The torte was the talk of the entire evening! I was called the master baker!

Mmm Mmm Good!!!

jean purpura from Buffalo, NY

Delicious and rather easy to make and boy does it look spectacular! Sold one at a bake sale for $25.00! (of course it was for charity) The first one I made I could not resist taking one sliver after another to eat after saying it was too rich for a full slice. Good-by diet!
Really Elegant

debbie shoff from gnadenhutten, OH

Very Eye catching and elegant. The taste is out of this world.
Stunning!

Laurie Lomask from West Hartford, CT

This recipe literally takes the cake. It is moist, sweet, luscious and oh so rich all at once. It is extra chocolatey and the presentation is dramatic. What else could you ask for? The only thing I could say is that it is a bit too rich for some to handle.
