MATZAH TOFFEE BARK

by Marci Dollinger

Getting started

We are so excited to share a recipe from one of our Heirloom clients recently completed cookbooks. This recipe is for matzah toffee bark from “Dining with the Dollingers,” by Marci Dollinger. The cookbook shares some of Marci’s most prized family recipes including many shaped by her Jewish heritage. We loved bringing her cookbook to life through Heirloom and recreating this delicious matzah based sweet treat. Our spin? We added some flaky sea salt, crushed pistachios, and dried rose petals on top!

Ingredients

5 to 6 pieces plain matzah 1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
12 oz. semisweet chocolate bits
1/2 cup slivered almonds
crushed or other topping of your choice

We have been making this matza toffee bark since the girls were little. It’s our favorite recipe to make together for the seder. Everyone helps and picks the toppings of their choice. We make a big batch to enjoy all throughout the week of Passover.

Step-by-step recipes

STEP 1

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (or parchment) and lay the matzah in a single layer that completely covers the bottom of the sheet.

STEP 2

In a saucepan melt the butter and sugar over low heat. Raise the heat and boil the mixture for 3 minutes. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the matzah and spread it with the back of a spoon.

STEP 3

Place the matzah in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and immediately pour the chocolate bits over the matzah. Return the sheet to the oven for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate.
