Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Gather ingredients: matzah farfel, chopped almonds or pecans, unsweetened coconut, brown sugar, honey, and oil.

On a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick spray, combine 2 1/2 cups matzah farfel, 1 cup chopped almonds or pecans, and 1 cup unsweetened coconut.

Bake in the oven at 325°F for 12 to 15 minutes to dry and crisp the mixture.

Remove from the oven and let it cool on the counter.

In a pot, combine 1/4 cup oil (or margarine), 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Optionally, add a little maple syrup.

Cook the mixture on the stove, stirring until the sugars dissolve and it turns into a caramel-like consistency.

Pour the caramel glaze over the dry ingredients on the sheet pan and mix well using two spatulas or spoons.

Reset the oven to 350°F and once preheated, return the sheet pan to the oven for about 15 minutes until it turns a nice brown toasted color.

After 15 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 200°F and let it dry for another 15 minutes, checking frequently to prevent over-browning.

Remove from the oven and let it cool on the counter; it will harden as it cools.

Once mostly dry, mix in up to 1 cup of raisins.
