  1. MY TRADEMARK, MOST REQUESTED, ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT CARAMEL
    MATZOH CRUNCH An outstanding, unique, and easy confection.
    If you make only one thing at Passover, make this.

    4-6 unsalted matzohs 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter or
    unsalted Passover margarine 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    3/4 cup coarsely chopped chocolate chips or semi-sweet
    chocolate

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large (or two smaller)
    cookie sheet completely with foil. Cover the bottom of
    the sheet with baking parchment — on top of the foil.
    This is very important since the mixture becomes sticky
    during baking.

    Line the bottom of the cookie sheet evenly with the matzohs,
    cutting extra pieces, as required, to fit any spaces.

    In a 3-quart, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter or
    margarine and the brown sugar. Cook over medium heat,
    stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil
    (about 2 to 4 minutes). Boil for 3 minutes, stirring
    constantly. Remove from the heat and pour over the matzoh,
    covering completely.

    Place the baking sheet in the oven and immediately reduce
    the heat to 350°. Bake for 15 minutes, checking every few
    minutes to make sure the mixture is not burning (if it seems
    to be browning too quickly, remove the pan from the oven,
    lower the heat to 325°, and replace the pan).

    Remove from the oven and sprinkle immediately with the
    chopped chocolate or chips. Let stand for 5 minutes, then
    spread the melted chocolate over the matzoh. While still
    warm, break into squares or odd shapes. Chill, still in the
    pan, in the freezer until set.

    This makes a good gift.

    Variation: You can also use coarsely chopped white chocolate
    (or a combination of white and dark), and chopped or
    slivered toasted almonds (sprinkled on top as the chocolate
    sets). You can also omit the chocolate for a caramel-alone
    buttercrunch.

    You can use a cookie sheet full of soda crackers and regular
    salted butter and chocolate chips...Tastes a lot like a Skor
    chocolate bar.

    Argh!! I made two batches of this recipe for Passover, and
    both came out differently, but both started to burn by 6
    minutes into the baking time. My recipe calls for 350, not
    375, and anywhere from 8 to 12 minutes. I set it for 8
    minutes, and each time had to pull the pan out before that
    (and it's not my stove, it's properly calibrated, just
    checked that a couple of months ago).

    On top of that, the stovetop mixture started to smell like
    it was burning well before the 3 minute boiling time ended.

    It all tasted great, and there wasn't any left, but why
    can't I get it to come out consistently every time? It's
    frustrating. Near as I can tell, you want the matzo to be
    completely soaked through with the caramel mixture, so it's
    on both sides of the matzo when it bakes.

    Here's a tip - line the baking pan with the new Reynolds
    Release foil, you won't need parchment paper. The Release
    foil comes right off.

  5. Matzoh...the unleavened bread that the newly freed Hebrew
    slaves consumed on their way out of Egypt with Moses leading
    the way. They were in such a hurry they could not wait for
    their bread to rise so they baked it as is.. This is
    ceremonial "bread" eaten during Passover. The best place to
    find it is at a major chain grocery store. They virtually
    all carry it (in the U.S. that is) year around. Check the
    ethnic food section.
