Ingredients
4 4 matzo crackers
225 g 225 unsalted butter
200 g 200 packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon 1/4 salt
1 teaspoon 1 vanilla extract
175 g 175 semisweet chocolate chips
200 g 200 chopped nuts
Equipment
Small saucepan- Spatula
- spoon
- Measuring cups
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the matzo crackers in a single layer, breaking them as needed to fit.
- In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, continue to cook for 3 more minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the toffee mixture evenly over the matzo crackers on the baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out if necessary. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling all over.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let sit for 5 minutes to melt, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the toffee.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate while it is still warm.
- Allow the chocolate toffee matzo to cool completely at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator to harden quickly. Once set, break into pieces.
Notes
- Ensure the toffee is spread evenly before baking to prevent areas from getting too hard or chewy.
- Feel free to use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet, depending on your preference.
