Chocolate Matzoh Butter-Crunch
When Passover is around the corner, I beg my friend at work SuDokuGal to bring in her famous chocolate matzoh. She only really eats it around the Passover holiday, but I could eat it all year round. And so, I asked her for the recipe, and if she minded me posting it on my blog. It's a perfect sweet snack, when you're dragging at work and need that chocolate pick-me-up. These chocolate crisps will pick you up, anytime and anywhere.
Chocolate Matzoh Butter-Crunch
1 pound box of matzoh (will make around 5 batches)
1 ¼ sticks of butter or margarine
½ cup sugar *(supposed to be 3/4 cup but SDG always uses 1/2 cup)*
12 oz chocolate chips (will cover several batches)
½ cup ground nuts (pecans, walnuts or almonds)
cinnamon & sugar (optional for variation)
· Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
· Line a cookie sheet with foil.
· Bring margarine or butter to a boil.
· Add sugar and stir.
· Pour sugar/butter mixture over matzoh and spread all the way to the edges of the matzoh.
· Bake in oven for twelve minutes
· Take pan out of oven, and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Spread the melting chocolate to the ends of the matzoh, covering completely.
* If desired, sprinkle with nuts.
* For a non-chocolate variation, sprinkle chopped nuts directly on baked butter/sugar mixture and refrigerate.
* Another non-chocolate variation: leave out the nuts and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
· Refrigerate pan until cold and break up butter-crunch into pieces. Pieces will be uneven.
· Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator. Freeze if desired.

Warning - this snack is addictive! It's also the only thing worth eating during all of Passover.
Paige Jennifer, that's hilarious. That's what it seems like, after seeing and hearing SuDokuGal suffering through the holiday with lunches she hated eating:)
Ha!
I'm on the bandwagon for anything chocolate -- especially matzoh.
Mona -- here's another movie for you and your Mom to watch together -- Millions. It's a bit sappy, but not too much.
I've had that before but w/saltine crackers and it is delicious!!!
Love,

I don't know about this one Mona..Chocolate Matzoh??OK I'll try anything once or maybe twice;)
I'm more of a brisket man this time of year but the matzoh dessert sounds purty tasty.
L'chaim!
Janice, aw, that's great to know! And I'm home right now with mamacita so we'll have to rent that. Thanks for the recommendation :) How's your quilt going?
Mal, saltine and chocolate? That is hilarious!! Wow, maybe if I can't get my hands on any matzoh I'll have to try with saltines. What's up girlie?
Greg, ha! Come on, you can do it!! Ha, had any yummy martinis lately? Now I always think of you. Funny what one post can do to ya....
My chest hair...you crack me up!! HA! How you doin'? Got any more of those pumpernickel rolls? Did you find Dirty Tony today and nail him in the head with one? I'm psyched you left a comment:) Hope you had a good day. And if SDG brings in any more, I promise I'll share with ya'.
Mazel tov!
I'll share this w/ the whole Mishpocha (family).
This sounds amazing, as does the idea of it made with saltines. (Oh, maybe graham crackers would be good, too!) Please thank SuDokuGal for generously sharing her recipe.
Sounds perfect! Thanks!

Here is a recipe for the saltine kind. I don't think it's exactly what I've had, but close. I wouldn't say it's toffee per se, more just like delicious gooey chocolate baked saltines. Mal

i know most are grossed out by it, but i love gefilte fish. The homemade kind, though, not from the jar (that's just gross). But chocolate matzoh comes right in second.
what is a matzoh? i would like to try one but have never heard of it! chocolate anything is always good anyway :)
Never tried it ! Sounds good.
Mona,
Where are you? Is everything okay? I emailed you about my bach. night!
Love,
Malibu
Are you just in a matzoh stupor or is something else going on?
My boss made something very similar to this recipe this year and it was fantastic. Thank your friend for sharing the recipe for all of us to try.
Repeat after me. I must blog now. G be missing me.
OK...you're starting to freak us all out. It's time to post...we miss our Mona!
Thank you for the recipe!
I tried it and it came out great.
Many recipes over there don't come out as supposed, but this one works. I beleive it will become a new family favorite.
Thank you to everyone who wrote in with a) concerns (greg, bc, janice, mal) b) encouragement (greg et al) or just c) plain liking this post. I'm so psyched, Laura, you tried the recipe. I still have to do it myself!!
