Ingredients
- Nonstick vegetable oil spray
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, diced
- 1 large egg, separated
- 2 (or more) teaspoons ice water
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 cup lightly salted dry-roasted peanuts
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup creamy (smooth) natural peanut butter (made with only peanuts and salt)
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 to 2 teaspoons milk
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons lightly salted dryroasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Spray 9-inch square or 10-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom with nonstick spray. Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add butter and blend until coarse crumbs form. Add egg yolk and 2 teaspoons ice water. Blend until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into square or disk (depending on shape of pan). Wrap and chill 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.
- Roll out dough to 11-to 12-inch square or round. Transfer dough to prepared pan. Cut off all but 1/2 inch of overhang. Fold overhang in, creating double-thick sides. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake crust until pale golden, checking every 5 minutes and pressing bottom if bubbling and pressing sides up with back of fork if slipping, about 28 minutes.
- Beat egg white in small bowl until foamy. Brush some white over hot crust to coat inside. Bake 1 minute longer. Cool on rack. Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
- For filling: Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in brown sugar and salt, then cream and honey. Bring to rolling boil, swirling pan occasionally. Boil 1 minute. Whisk in 1 cup peanuts. Pour filling into crust. Bake tart until filling is bubbling thickly, about 15 minutes. Cool on rack until firm, about 2 hours; freeze 15 minutes. Beat powdered sugar and peanut butter in medium bowl until blended. Gradually beat in 2 tablespoons milk, then more by teaspoonfuls to thin slightly; spread evenly over peanut filling. Refrigerate tart while preparing glaze.

Chill tart until glaze sets, at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving. Using tip of small knife, gently loosen crust from pan. Push up pan bottom, releasing tart. Cut square tart in half and cut each half crosswise into 7 or 8 slices or cut round tart into wedges.
