Preparation
  1. Line the bottom of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with parchment paper and spritz with nonstick spray.

  6. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the sugar and crumb mix, stirring to combine.
  7. Spread the peanut butter mixture into the chilled chocolate-coated tart pan.
  8. Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, smoothing it out.
Chilling

Serving
  1. Gently nudge the tart pan edges, flip onto a serving plate, and slice into wedges.

Notes

For an even deeper flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before serving adds sophistication.
