Why This Dish Is Amazing
This treat is a perfect blend of sweet and crunchy. It uses simple ingredients and comes together quickly. The combination of crispy matzah and rich caramel makes it a delightful snack for any occasion.
Directions
Gently heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish. Arrange the matzah pieces in the dish, breaking them as needed to cover the bottom completely. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the margarine and brown sugar together, stirring until the mixture is smooth and bubbling—this should take about 3 minutes. Pour this syrup evenly over the matzah in the baking dish. Pop it into the oven and bake for around 15 minutes, until the syrup is thick and bubbly. Take the dish out and sprinkle chocolate chips on top right away. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the chocolate melts, then spread it evenly over the candy with a spatula. Once it’s fully cooled and set, break it into pieces and enjoy!
