Ingredients
- 4-5 sheets of matzo crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- Sea salt (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Break the matzo crackers into smaller pieces and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture over the matzo crackers, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the candy begins to bubble and the matzo turns golden brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot candy. Let it sit for a few minutes until the chocolate softens, then spread it out with a spatula to cover the matzo completely.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts and sea salt over the chocolate layer for added flavor and texture.
- Allow the candy to cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for quicker cooling. Once cooled and hardened, break the candy into bite-sized pieces.
- Store the delicious matzo candy in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
