Indulge in the irresistible combination of crunchy matzoh crackers, melted chocolate, and sweet toffee in this delightful Matzoh Candy recipe. This easy-to-make treat is perfect for Passover or any occasion. The matzoh provides a unique texture that pairs perfectly with the rich flavors of the chocolate and toffee. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation time, you can whip up a batch of this delectable candy to enjoy and share with friends and family.

Ingredients

  • 4-5 sheets of matzoh
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the matzoh sheets in a single layer on the sheet, breaking them into smaller pieces if needed to fit.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Let it boil for 3-4 minutes, continuing to stir.
  4. Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture over the matzoh, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the toffee becomes bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee-covered matzoh. Let it sit for a few minutes until the chocolate chips begin to melt.
  7. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee layer.
  8. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or sea salt over the melted chocolate for additional flavor and texture.
  9. Allow the matzoh candy to cool completely on the baking sheet. You can refrigerate it for faster cooling.
  10. Once cooled and hardened, break the candy into small, irregular pieces.
  11. Store the Matzoh Candy in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
