Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 ½ matzos
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Lay 3 ½ matzos out on a 9 x 13 baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You may have to break the matzo to get it to fit.
  • Heat the butter and brown sugar in a small sauce pan on low heat until melted together. Whisk occasionally.
  • Increase heat in the sauce pan to medium and whisk constantly for 3 minutes.
  • Pour the toffee mixture over the matzo in the pan and use a spatula to smooth it out. You can also use the spatula like a paint brush and "paint" the matzo with the toffee until completely covered.
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips and pecans over the top of the matzo.
  • Bake in the oven for 5 minutes at 350ºF.
  • Remove from the oven and use a spoon to spread out the chocolate chips over the matzo.
  • Cool for 15 minutes in the refrigerator and cut into 2 inch squares to serve.

Notes

Be very careful when heating the brown sugar and butter. It gets very hot and can give you severe burns.
Recipe Variations
  • Leave out the nuts - some people have nut allergies or simply do not like nuts. You can always leave them out.
  • Add candy toppings - These days, Passover is not short on candy options. Make this a fun activity for the kids and add their favorite candies (marshmallows, jellies...etc) to the top of the chocolate toffee layer right after baking.
  • Make it vegan - use non-dairy butter and the recipe is vegan and pareve.
  • Salted caramel Matzo Crack - sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt over the top of the melted chocolate after baking.
