Matzo Buttercrunch

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Apr, 2024 12:34 PM
  • Matzo Buttercrunch

INGREDIENTS: 

4-6 unsalted matzo boards or sheets

1 cup unsalted butter 

1 cup light brown sugar

3/4 cup chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet completely with foil, and then cover that with a piece of parchment paper. This is important, as the mixture becomes sticky during baking. On top of the parchment, line the pan evenly with matzo boards, cutting extra pieces of matzo as required to fit any extra spaces on the cookie sheet as evenly as possible.

Combine butter and brown sugar in a 3-quart, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking 3 more minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and spoon or pour over matzo.

Bake 15 minutes, checking every few minutes to make sure mixture is not burning. If it seems to be browning too quickly, remove it from the oven, lower heat to 325 F and replace.

Remove from oven and sprinkle the matzo boards immediately with chopped chocolate or chips. Let stand 5 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate over the matzo. While still warm, cut into squares or odd shapes. Chill in refrigerator until set.
