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.
