Make the best Matza Crack Recipe with just a few simple ingredients! A sweet, salty treat that's perfect for Passover and beyond.
Ingredients
- 4 sheets lightly salted matzo or unsalted if you prefer more control over salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped pecans or any chopped nuts optional
- Sea salt flakes or kosher salt to finish
Instructions
Prep Your Baking Sheet:
- Line A Rimmed Baking Sheet With Parchment Paper Or Foil. Lay The Matzo Sheets In A Single Layer, Breaking Them To Fit Edge-To-Edge.
Make The Toffee Layer:
- In A Saucepan Over Medium Heat, Melt The Butter And Brown Sugar, Stirring Until It Starts Bubbling. Let It Boil Gently For 3 Minutes Without Stirring Too Much. You Want A Thick, Smooth Toffee Mixture.
Pour The Toffee Over Matzo:
- Quickly Pour The Hot Toffee Over The Matzo Layer And Spread It Out Evenly With A Spatula. Work Fast—It Starts Setting Quickly!
Bake It:
- Pop The Baking Sheet Into A Preheated Oven At 350°f (175°c) For About 10-12 Minutes. The Toffee Will Bubble All Over. That’s When It’s Ready.
Add The Chocolate:
- Remove From Oven, Then Sprinkle Chocolate Chips Over The Hot Toffee. Wait 2-3 Minutes For Them To Soften, Then Spread Evenly To Form The Chocolate Toffee Topping.
Top It Off:
- Sprinkle With Sea Salt Flakes And Chopped Nuts (If Using). Press Them Down Gently So They Stick To The Warm Chocolate.
Cool And Cut:
- Let It Cool Completely—First At Room Temp, Then Chill In The Fridge For About 30 Minutes Until Firm. Break Or Cut Into Squares Or Bars On A Cutting Board. Done!
