How to Make Matzo Buttercrunch

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a jelly roll pan (approx. 10x15 inches) with aluminum foil, then cover with parchment paper.
  3. Arrange 6-8 matzo crackers in a single layer on the prepared pan, breaking them as needed to fit.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly browned. Watch carefully!
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  6. In a small, heavy saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar.
  7. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  8. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  9. Immediately pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the toasted matzo crackers.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  11. Remove from oven and evenly sprinkle with 1 cup (113g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  12. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
  14. Break into 36 pieces and enjoy your crispy, chocolatey treat!
