This sweet and salty holiday matzo treat is so delicious, you'll want to make it year-round. Salted matzo crackers are topped with a layer of homemade caramel, then melted chocolate, and sprinkled with flaky sea salt. You can omit the salt, but it adds a more complex flavor. Once set, break it into pieces and enjoy.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 5 salted matzo crackers
  • 220 g unsalted butter
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 0.5 tsp coarse salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (from a 340g package)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes, optional

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Arrange the matzoh crackers in a single layer on the foil, breaking them as needed to fit. Depending on their size, you may not need all the crackers.

  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and coarse salt and bring to a full boil; the mixture should bubble all over, not just at the edges. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and butter caramelize evenly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the caramel over the matzo. Using a silicone spatula, quickly spread it to cover the matzo. It doesn't have to be perfectly spread; the oven will even it out. Bake until the caramel begins to bubble, 5-6 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the hot caramel evenly with chocolate chips. Let sit until the chocolate melts, about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to gently spread the chocolate, then sprinkle with sea salt, if using. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for another hour to allow the topping to set completely. Break into pieces and serve or store in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 2 weeks..
