Ingredients
  

  • 4 sheets matzo unleavened cracker
  • 1 cup 227g unsalted butter (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup 210g dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract adds flavor depth
  • 1 10 oz; 283g bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (for melting)
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt for sprinkling on top

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange a single layer of matzo on top.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Place over medium heat, whisking frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, continue whisking for 2-3 minutes, until the toffee is golden and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Quickly pour the toffee sauce over the matzo, spreading it evenly using an offset spatula. Be sure to coat the matzo as thoroughly as possible.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the toffee starts to bubble and crack slightly on top.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately pour the entire bag of chocolate chips evenly over the toffee-coated matzo. Return the sheet to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the chocolate chips have melted. Spread the melted chocolate into an even layer with an offset spatula.
  6. Sprinkle sea salt generously over the melted chocolate. Let the matzo cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 2 hours or until hardened.
  7. Once the matzo has set, break it into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
