Homemade Toffee-Chocolate Matzah Passover Recipe

Come Party With Me: Passover — Dessert

March 24, 2010

This Passover, I'm suggesting that you think outside the traditional Seder box. Instead of serving the expected menu, plan a meal that highlights matzo.

All of the dishes on this menu, from the starter to the side, include the cracker-like substitute for bread — even the dessert. Treat guests to homemade toffee-chocolate matzah!

It's similar to saltine toffee but uses matzo instead of saltines. It's an easy dessert that also doubles as a fun edible gift. Want the recipe? Read more.

Homemade Toffee-Chocolate Matzo Passover Recipe

Ingredients

4 sheets unsalted non-egg matzah
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
Coarse sea salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper Place matzah in an even layer on baking sheet and set aside.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and immediately reduce temperature to low. Cook, stirring, adjusting heat as necessary, until sugar has completely dissolved and begins to bubble. Drizzle toffee over matzah and spread to cover using a spatula.
Transfer toffee-covered matzah to oven and bake until toffee has a rich, shiny sheen, 10 to 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Tent matzah with aluminum foil and let stand 20 to 30 minutes.
Remove foil tent and spread melted chocolate over matzah to cover; sprinkle with sea salt. Transfer matzah to refrigerator and let chill at least 2 hours.
Break chilled matzah into pieces. Matzah will keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.

Makes 4 sheets.
