Matzoh Crack

Cultural Context

Matzoh Crack, also known as Matzah Toffee, is a beloved treat during Passover, when traditional leavened bread is avoided. This sweet and salty dessert combines the crunch of matzoh with a rich toffee layer and chocolate, embodying the spirit of creativity in Jewish cooking. It has gained popularity beyond the holiday, becoming a favorite for parties and gatherings.

1

Place crackers in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

2

In a small saucepan, heat butter and brown sugar over medium heat.

3

Stir the mixture until it begins to combine as it bubbles.

4

Let it continue to boil while stirring frequently for about 5 minutes.

5

If using a candy thermometer, check that it reaches about 280 degrees.

6

Pour the toffee mixture on top of the crackers and use a spatula to spread it evenly.

7

Place the tray in the oven and heat until it comes to a boil across the entire surface.

8

Continue to heat for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until it reaches 300 degrees for the hard crack stage.

9

Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top in an even layer.

10

Wait until the chocolate chips are shiny and soft enough to melt, then spread evenly with a spatula.

11

Add any desired toppings like flaky salt, mini M&Ms, or chopped nuts.

12

Pop the tray in the fridge to let the chocolate harden.

13

Once hardened, break apart into bite-sized pieces and store in a sealed container in the fridge.
