Ingredients
- 4-5 pieces Matzo
- 2 sticks Butter, unsalted
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups Chocolate chips, semisweet
- 1 tablespoon Flaky Sea Salt (I like Maldon Salt for finishing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil being sure the covering hangs over the edges. Lay matzo across the bottom of the lined pan, breaking up the matzo to fill in any gaps. so that the entire bottom of the pan is covered.
- Heat butter and brown sugar in a sauce pan, on the stove set over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and let boil for 3-4 minutes, stirring the whole time. Pour the toffee mixture carefully onto the laid out matzo and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Put into the oven for 8 minutes, until the toffee is bubbly.
- Take the pan out and evenly sprinkle all chocolate chips across the top of the toffee layer. Put the tray back into the oven let the chocolate melt for 3-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate into a thin layer. Sprinkle with fancy sea salt to finish and put into the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
- Once set, remove from fridge, break into pieces and enjoy.
Notes
- The matzo crack can easily be made in advance and stored until you are ready to eat it. Start by layering the pieces of matzo crack in an airtight container. Separate each layer with a piece of wax paper or parchment paper. Then store in the fridge for up to a week.
- Feel free to play with other flavor profiles by adding fun toppings. Things like nuts, seeds, mini-marshmallows and freeze dried fruit all work well.
