As a member of the Jewish community, it is imperative to share the wonders of this delectable chocolate caramel matzah with others. It is a delightful treat I overlooked for 32 years, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to experience the same oversight. My introduction to this recipe came from my dear friend Jenna, who, despite not being Jewish, deserves honorary status for her contribution to my culinary life.
This recipe is inspired by the renowned chef David Lebovitz, and I have made some modifications for simplicity—because who needs the hassle of parchment paper? Additionally, this recipe can easily substitute saltine crackers if desired.
Ingredients:
- 6 sheets of unsalted matzah
- 1 cup unsalted butter, diced
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup toasted sliced almonds
Instructions:
- Begin by lining a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil completely.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange the matzah sheets on the bottom of the prepared baking sheet, breaking pieces as needed to fill any gaps.
- In a small saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar, cooking over medium heat. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the mixture begins to boil.
- Allow the mixture to boil for 3 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat and incorporate the vanilla along with half of the sea salt.
- Pour this mixture over the matzah, using a heatproof spatula to spread it evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Upon removal from the oven, immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot matzah. Let them sit for 5 minutes before spreading to cover the matzah entirely.
- Finally, sprinkle with the toasted almonds and the remaining sea salt.
Once prepared, I recommend placing the matzah in the freezer for a short period to firm it up before breaking it into pieces. Trust me, indulging in this treat can be nothing short of a revelatory experience.
