Chocolate-covered matzo is layered with toffee, melted chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt for a classic Passover dessert. No Passover Seder is complete without it!

Ingredients

4 to 6 unsalted matzo crackers
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Sea salt, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 15x10x1-in. baking pan with foil. Arrange crackers in pan.
In a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Spread evenly over crackers.
Bake at 350° for 15-17 minutes (cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly). Sprinkle with chocolate chips; let stand 5 minutes. Spread chocolate over the top. If desired, sprinkle with salt. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 1 hour.
Break into pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set. Store in an airtight container.

My entire family asks me to make this chocolate-covered matzo every Passover and Hanukkah! I've even been asked to ship it across the country. You can use white chocolate, dark chocolate or a combination, or add nuts before the chocolate sets. —Dana Darrow, Nashua, New Hampshire
