To prepare tart: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Blend first 3 ingredients in processor until nuts are finely ground. Add butter and blend until well-combined. Press nut mixture onto bottom and sides of 9" tart pan with removable bottom. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool.

To prepare filling: In a medium heavy saucepan, bring cream to a simmer. Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Pour chocolate mixture into crust. Cover and refrigerate until firm (about 2 hours).

To prepare sauce: Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add sugar and cook until deep golden brown, whisking frequently (about 10 minutes- the mixture will be grainy). Add cream and boil until sauce is reduced to 2½ cups, whisking occasionally (about 10 minutes). Cool slightly.
