                         Crust:
    1      cup           all-purpose flour
      1/4  cup           ground almonds
    2      tablespoons   brown sugar
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
      1/2  stick         unsalted butter, softened
    1      tablespoon    cold water
                         Chocolate Layer:
      2/3  cup           semi-sweet chocolate chips
      1/2  stick         unsalted butter
      1/4  cup           firmly packed brown sugar
      1/4  teaspoon      ground cinnamon

                         White Chocolate Layer:
    4      oz            white baking bar, chopped
      1/2  stick         unsalted butter
      1/3  cup           sugar
    2                    eggs
    3      oz            cream cheese, softened
    2      tablespoons   flour
    1      teaspoon      vanilla extract
      1/3  cup           sliced almonds
 
  Glaze:
  2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
  1 teaspoon oil
 
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
 
  2. Crust:  In a large bowl combine the flour, almonds, sugar and
  salt and mix well. Cut in the butter and add water, stirring just
  until dry ingredients are moistened and the mixture forms a ball
  when lightly pressed together. Press into the bottom of a 9 or 10"
  tart pan with a removable bottom.
 
  3. Chocolate Layer:  In a small saucepan over low heat, melt
  chocolate chips and butter, stirring constantly until smooth.
  Remove from heat.  Stir in the flour, sugar and cinnamon and mix
  well.  Add the egg and vanilla; beat well.  Spread over crust.
 
  4. White Chocolate Layer:  In a small saucepan over very low heat,
  melt white chocolate and butter, stirring constantly until smooth.
  Cool slightly.  In a small bowl, beat sugar, eggs, cheese, flour
  and vanilla at medium speed until smooth ( about 2 minutes).  Stir in
  the melted chocolate mixture and beat at high speed for 1 minute.
  Pour over filling in pan; sprinkle with sliced almonds.
 
  5. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or
  until light golden brown.  Cool on a rack.  Run a knife around the
  sides of the pan to loosen; remove sides of pan.
 
  6. Glaze:  In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chips with
  the oil stirring constantly until smooth.  Drizzle over tart.
