- Fold in chocolate chips and caramel sauce.
 
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
 
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges and just set in the center.
 
- Let cool slightly, then top with dollops of melted chocolate, caramel, and hazelnuts while still warm.
 
- Slice like a tart and serve warm or at room temperature.
