This Chocolate-Almond Matzo Brittle is a unique take on the traditional Passover snack.
Chocolate-Almond Matzo Brittle
Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
- 6 sheets unsalted matzo
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 (1-ounce) pieces bittersweet chocolate
- ½ cup sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions
- On a silicone baking mat, place matzo sheets side by side in a square pattern. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine sugar, water, and butter. Cook until mixture registers 355° on a candy thermometer. Carefully pour mixture over matzo, spreading with a spatula to cover. Allow toffee mixture to cool and harden, approximately 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until melted, 1 to 1½ minutes total. Spread chocolate mixture over toffee mixture. Sprinkle evenly with almonds.
- Allow mixture to cool and harden at room temperature for 2½ hours. Break brittle into bite-size pieces. Note: Brittle can be stored in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 3 days.
