Available on over forty different sites, not all under the same name. Kent Tart, Gypsy Tart being two other names.
Here being one, only it doesn't come up following the link.

Also when using one that you've adapted/edited one.

Didn't quite understand your last sentence. My point here is that the recipe is copied word for word from http://www.mummybebeautiful.com/2013/03/caramel-tart.html. The photo is from there too. For all I know, @teekelly may be the original poster Shahnaz Alam.

I don't doubt there are many recipes out there which are similar, but this is an exact copy. Most recipes for Gypsy Tart don't include chocolate sprinkles. I'm sure you think I'm a pain in the ***** to keep mentioning these things - but I think its a question of netiquette, thats all. Copyright is complicated on these matters - nevertheless it makes sense to be careful and credit sources.

My mistake, i did take the photo from the google images, which is from this website. But i do assure you i did this recipe myself it just so happens that its already been done. I modeled it after the aesthetics of what my school dinners one looked like, so of course there had to have chocolate sprinkles (every British school dinner caramel tart had chocolate sprinkles). After going on the website i see how you could think its a direct copy. Thought i was original guess not lol.

Ok - well I guess it must be a coincidence that you happened to use a number of similar phrases in your method and that the ingredients list is identical.
