Every year at our Passover Seder, a heaping platter of chocolate matzo lands on the table come dessert time\u2014and it always gets devoured! Not only is our chocolate-covered matzo recipe completely addictive, but it&#8217;s also effortless to make and easy to customize to your taste.<\/p>\n<p>For this chocolate-covered matzo recipe, crispy sheets of matzo are layered with brown sugar toffee and melted chocolate, then topped with flaky sea salt. The only tricky part is grabbing a handful before it all disappears!<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the best kind of matzo for chocolate-covered matzo recipes?<\/h2>\n<p>Choose unsalted, plain matzo for this dessert. Using unsalted will help you control how much salt the final product needs. And using plain matzo is crucial: No one wants to bite into garlic or onion-flavored chocolate matzo! You can choose between egg and non-egg matzo; just keep in mind that non-egg matzo is sturdier and holds up better.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Chocolate-Covered Matzo<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Matzo:<\/strong> This unleavened bread made from flour and water can be found at most grocery stores year-round, especially leading up to Passover. Unsalted, plain matzo is best for this chocolate-covered matzo recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll need unsalted butter to make the toffee layer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar:<\/strong> Use either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/light-and-dark-brown-sugar\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/light-and-dark-brown-sugar\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">light or dark brown sugar<\/a> to make the toffee. Dark brown sugar has more molasses and creates a richer toffee flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Semisweet chocolate chips:<\/strong> Chocolate chips are easy to melt down for the chocolate layer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sea salt:<\/strong> My favorite way to finish chocolate-covered matzo is with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Set up the matzo<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil. Arrange the matzo in the lined pan and set aside.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Make the toffee<\/h3>\n<p>In a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cook and stir for three to four minutes or until the sugar dissolves. Spread the toffee evenly over the matzo.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> Keep an eye on the heat when boiling the sugar and butter on the stovetop. The mixture will boil at medium heat, but if your burners run hotter, low-medium heat will still achieve the desired consistency.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Melt the chocolate<\/h3>\n<p>Bake the toffee-covered matzo for 15 to 17 minutes\u2014cover the matzo loosely with foil if the top starts to brown too quickly. Remove from the oven, then immediately sprinkle the top with chocolate chips. Let it stand for five minutes as the chocolate softens, then spread the chocolate over the top. If desired, sprinkle with flaky salt. Allow the chocolate-covered matzo to cool in the pan on a wire rack for one hour.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Break up the matzo<\/h3>\n<p>Once the matzo is cooled, break it into pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or until set. Store in an airtight container.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2057180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Chocolate-Covered-Matzo_FT22_117581_F_0301_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chocolate covered Matzo in bits and pieces on a white plate\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">SARAH TRAMONTE FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate-Covered Matzo Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add chopped nuts:<\/strong> Add your favorite chopped nuts after spreading the chocolate.

Or, drizzle the matzo with a different kind of chocolate as a garnish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try a different topping:<\/strong> Traditionally, chocolate-covered matzo recipes feature chocolate, toffee and nuts, but you could also sprinkle the top with shredded coconut, sprinkles or even some edible glitter!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chocolate-Covered Matzo<\/h2>\n<p>Our chocolate-covered matzo recipe needs to set for two hours in the fridge, but after that it can be stored on the counter in an airtight container.
