Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the foil
5 salted matzo crackers
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (from a 12-ounce bag)
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with nonstick spray. Arrange the matzo crackers in a single layer on the foil, breaking them as necessary to fit. (Depending on their size, you may not need to use all of the crackers.)
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the sugar and kosher salt and bring to a full boil; the mixture should be bubbling all over, not just on the edges. Continue to boil for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally so the sugar and butter caramelize evenly. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the mixture over the top of the matzo. Using a rubber spatula, quickly spread the toffee mixture to coat the matzo. (It does not have to be perfect; the oven will even it out). Bake until the toffee is bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee in an even layer. Let sit until the chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Use an offset spatula to gently spread out the chocolate, then sprinkle with the sea salt, if using. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for another hour to set completely.
  • Break into pieces and serve, or store in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL MATZO TOFFEE



Chocolate-Caramel Matzo Toffee image

Matzo toffee is the Passover-friendly take on saltine toffee. A layered confection of matzo crackers, brown sugar caramel and melted chocolate, you can top it with practically anything you like, from the most elegantly minimal sprinkle of sea salt to a surfeit of nuts, dried fruit, potato chips, or a combination. Matzo toffee keeps well when stored airtight at room temperature - up to one week, if you haven't finished it by then.

Time 50m

Yield About 2 dozen pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 to 6 sheets matzo, preferably salted
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 1/2 packed cups/315 grams light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Large pinch of fine sea salt
7 ounces chopped bittersweet, milk or white chocolate, or a combination (about 1 cup)
Toppings, as desired (see note)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, allowing it to go up and over the edges of the pan. Line the bottom of the pan with a piece of parchment. Arrange matzo over parchment in an even layer, breaking pieces to fit as necessary.
  • In a medium pot over medium-high heat, bring butter and sugar to a boil, whisking, until thickened and smooth, about 3 minutes. The mixture may separate, and that is O.K. Stir in vanilla and salt. Quickly pour mixture over matzos. Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until bubbly, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Sprinkle chocolate evenly over caramel and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Use an offset spatula to spread chocolate smoothly over surface of toffee. If you've used different kinds of chocolate, you can swirl them together decoratively.
  • Immediately sprinkle melted chocolate with desired topping. Transfer baking sheet to refrigerator and chill toffee 1 hour to set chocolate. Break matzo toffee into large pieces for storing and serving.

Time 1h15m

Yield 35 2 inch squares

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 -5 lightly salted matzos
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans (toasted if desired, for maximum flavor)
1/2 teaspoon flaked sea salt or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil, making sure the foil goes up and over the edges, and top with sheet of parchment paper.
  • 3. Cover baking sheet with matzos, cutting and piecing together as necessary to fill the entire pan.
  • 4. Make toffee: Combine butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan.
  • 5. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until mixture comes to a boil. (If it looks like it's separating, just keep stirring; it will come together.).
  • 6. Once mixture comes to a boil, continue cooking and stirring for another 3 minutes until foamy and thickened. (Be extra careful -- toffee will be very hot!).
  • 7. Immediately pour toffee over matzos and, using a spatula, spread into an even layer.
  • 8. Put the pan into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the toffee topping is crackled and bubbling all over.
  • 9. Remove pan and place on wire cooling rack on the counter. Immediately scatter chocolate chips evenly over top.
  • 10. Wait 3-5 minutes for the chips to soften, then use a thin spatula to spread chocolate into an even layer.
  • 11. Sprinkle with pecans and sea salt. Note: If you can only find regular salted matzos, cut back or omit the sea salt.
  • 12. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 45 minutes. Don't leave it in the fridge too much longer, otherwise it will be hard to cut.
  • 13. Lift foil overhang to transfer matzo crack onto a large cutting board. Using a large sharp knife, cut into 2-inch squares.
  • 14. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and serve cold.
