As someone deeply rooted in my Jewish heritage, I feel compelled to share this indulgent chocolate caramel treat with you all. I spent 32 years blissfully unaware of its existence, and I certainly don’t want anyone else to endure the same fate. I owe my introduction to this divine recipe to my friend, Sarah, who, though not Jewish, deserves honorary status for her culinary contribution.
This version of the recipe has been adapted from the renowned David Lebovitz. I’ve made a few tweaks to simplify the process because, let’s be honest, who has time for parchment paper? The recipe also works splendidly with saltines, so feel free to experiment!
Ingredients:
- 6 sheets of unsalted matzo
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup sliced and toasted almonds
Instructions:
- Start by lining a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lay the matzo sheets across the bottom of the baking sheet, breaking pieces as needed to fill any gaps.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar over medium heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the mixture reaches a boil.
- Allow it to boil for 3 minutes, continuing to stir constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and half of the sea salt.
- Drizzle this caramel mixture over the matzo, using a heatproof spatula to spread it evenly.
- Bake the matzo for 15 minutes.
- Take it out of the oven and promptly sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before spreading the melted chocolate over the matzo evenly.
- Finish by sprinkling the toasted almonds and the remaining sea salt on top.
And there you have it! For an extra crunch, I recommend chilling it in the freezer until firm, then breaking it into bite-sized pieces. Trust me, it’s a heavenly experience you won’t want to miss.
