Matzo Crack is toffee-infused matzo topped with a blanket of chocolate and a sprinkling of sea salt. It's a sweet, salty, and crunchy treat that's perfect for Passover, or use saltines for an anytime treat!
12ounces(340grams)chocolate chips, dark, semi-sweet, or milk (2 cups)
sea salt flakes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 250 °F.
Line a half sheet baking pan with aluminum foil. Arrange the four pieces of matzo on the cookie sheet to fit.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over Medium High heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until the mixture is bubbling, stirring constantly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the toffee from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the toffee mixture over the matzo and spread it evenly over the top using a large offset spatula. Work quickly as the toffee will get harder to spread as it cools.
Bake the matzo for 25 to 30 minutes. Wash the spatula to use again.
Remove the baking pan from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the matzo. Put the baking pan back in the oven for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the chocolate chips start to melt.
Remove the baking pan from the oven and spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the matzo with the large offset spatula. Sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate lightly.
Let the baking pan cool on the counter for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill until set, about 1 hour.
Break the slab into bite-sized pieces. Serve & enjoy!
Storage instructions: Matzo Toffee Crack is best served fresh. It will keep at room temperature in an airtight bag for 3 to 4 days. After that, the matzo will soften as it gets stale. Since Passover lasts a week, you'll just have to make more!
Recipe Notes
If you don’t want to use sea salt, you can use other Matzo Crack toppings like nuts, coconut, Heath bar, dried fruit, or whatever else you'd like - basically matzo bark. Try drizzling melted white chocolate on top of the cooled chocolate chips for a dramatic presentation.Don't have matzo? No worries! Use saltine crackers (making Saltine Crack) or another type of plain cracker.
