Description

Passover Matzo Crack, also known as Chocolate Matzo Toffee, is a decadent treat featuring crisp matzo covered with homemade toffee, topped with melted chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt. This sweet-and-salty snack is perfect for Passover or anytime you crave a crunchy, indulgent dessert.


Ingredients

  1. 4-6 sheets of matzo (enough to cover a baking sheet)
    1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
    1 cup brown sugar, packed
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
    Sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Lay the matzo sheets on the baking sheet, breaking them if necessary to fit the surface.

  1. Make the toffee: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and let it boil for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes bubbly.
  2. Pour the toffee over the matzo: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture over the matzo, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover all the pieces.
  3. Bake the matzo: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the toffee is golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  4. Add the chocolate: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee-covered matzo. Let them sit for a few minutes until the chocolate chips melt, then spread the melted chocolate into an even layer.
  5. Cool and set: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the melted chocolate. Let the matzo crack cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for 1-2 hours until the chocolate is set.
  6. Break into pieces: Once the chocolate has hardened, break the matzo into irregular pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Variations: Add chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans) for extra crunch or use white chocolate chips for a different flavor.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • Freezing: Freeze for up to 2-3 months in a freezer-safe container. Let thaw at room temperature or microwave to reheat.
