Not all Matzo is Created Equal …

And after many years of making this Passover treat, we think you might agree that there’s nothing like (or wrong) with covering matzos with browned butter and sugar to make a caramelized sauce and then, as if that wasn’t enough, adding dark chocolate chips to melt and spread upon them. Here’s the basics of what we did:

Ingredients:

5-6 whole matzos

1 stick of butter

1 cup of brown sugar

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line two jelly roll pans with parchment paper, make sure to include the edges
  3. Cover the sheets with matzos, break into pieces if need be in order to cover the entire sheet
  4. In a small saucepan, melt butter and sugar and slowly bring to a boil over medium heat
  5. Once at a boiling point, caramelize the mixture by stirring frequently for another 3-4 minutes
  6. Remove the butter from heat and pour over the matzos on the prepared pans, using the back of a spoon to spread evenly, edge to edge
  7. Put the sheets in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, checking often to ensure the butter is bubbling, but not burning
  8. Once bubbling consistently, remove sheets from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top
  9. Let sit for about 5 minutes until chocolate chips begin to melt, then spread evenly over baked matzos
  10. Let cool completely and then break into pieces. Store in airtight container until ready to serve …

… if you can wait that long! If there’s one thing we learned about these matzos, it’s impossible to eat just one piece, in fact, the recipe is so easy to follow, we always make double batches (some for what we like to call, “home consumption”) and some for our Seders and snacks during Passover. Enjoy!
