My son can't have regular Passover food due to his EoE, so I had to make a few adjustments. This one is a variation to "Matzoh crack" for dessert. Why is it called "crack"? Well, let's just say it is so awesomely addictive that you will not be able to stop yourself from eating it!
I use Yehuda Gluten-free Matzoh:
- One box of Yehuda Gluten free Matzo-style squares
- 2 sticks of butter
- 2 C packed brown sugar
- 2 C sliced almonds (optional)
- cookie sheet, sauce pan, parchment paper
What you do:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and then place enough matzoh to cover all the parchment. You can break up matzoh, but don't use pieces smaller than 2"x 2". Set aside.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and immediately reduce the temperature to low. Cook while stirring, adjust the heat as needed so that the sugar is completely dissolved and begins to bubble (makes it toffee), but you don't want this to be done too quickly, it should take about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the toffee over the matzoh and spread to cover using a rubber spatula. Put a second layer of matzoh and drizzle toffee again. Repeat until all toffee is used. Make sure you have enough to spread over the top, then sprinkle with almonds.
- Transfer cookie sheet to the oven for 10 to 20 minutes until the toffee gets a sheen
- Remove from the oven, let cool completely (can use refrigerator), and break up into small pieces.
- I use plastic snack bags to divide the "crack" into reasonable portions; trust me, I am saving you from yourself!
- I store them in the refrigerator.
To make with chocolate, you will need 2 C of semi-sweet chocolate morsels. You will wait to put the almonds until after the chocolate is added. To add the chocolate, when you take the matzoh from the oven, sprinkle the chips onto the matzoh, allow to melt for about a minute, and then spread the chocolate around with a spatula, then sprinkle with the almonds.
