Combine all crust ingredients in a medium bowl until crumbly. Press firmly with a flat cup, like a measuring cup, into a 9 inch tart pan (sides first, then bottom).

Pour into the cooled tart shell. Let set overnight at room temperature or 1-2 hours in refrigerator.
Sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle with a dulce de leche or a favorite sauce or fresh berries, if desired.
Serve at room temperature.

* If there are still unmelted chunks of chocolate in the ganache, heat it up over a simmering double boiler on the stovetop.
