How to Make Caramel Matzoh Crunch

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil, then parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
  2. Arrange the matzoh pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, breaking pieces to fit as needed.
  3. In a heavy-bottomed 3-quart saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar over medium heat.
  4. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  5. Continue boiling for exactly 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  6. Immediately remove from heat and carefully pour the caramel mixture evenly over the matzoh, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Place baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. The caramel will bubble and slightly darken.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the chopped chocolate evenly over the warm caramel.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
  11. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the matzoh using an offset spatula or knife.
  12. While still warm, break the Caramel Matzoh Crunch into squares or irregular pieces.
  13. Place the baking sheets in the freezer to chill completely until set (about 30 minutes).
  14. Once set, remove from freezer, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
