I’m having trouble even typing up this entry because one of my hands is busy carrying pieces of Matzoh Crack Crunch to my mouth. This recipe, adapted from the great David Lebovtiz , has been adapted many times over. It’s super easy, and if you’re planning on taking this anywhere, I highly recommend waiting until the last day to make it so you don’t run the risk of only having half left on the day of the event. I hope I still a few pieces left for the Passover seder I’m attending in a couple days!

Delicious and addictive Matzo covered in sea
Ingredients
- 1 Box Matzoh (you will only use ~3 sheets per batch)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 10 ounce package (1.5 cups) semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup firmly-packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F and cover a foil-lined baking sheet with matzo leaving no empty spaces.
- Heat the butter and sugar over medium-low heat until melted, then increase the heat to medium and bring it to a boil, stirring the whole time. Boil for 3 minutes then remove from the heat and mix in the vanilla and a healthy pinch of sea salt.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the matzo immediately and shmear it around to spread it as evenly as possible.
- Lower the heat to 325 F and put the caramel-covered matzo in the oven for 15 minutes – watch it closely so it doesn't burn.
- Take your delicious smelling matzoh out of the oven and pour your chocolate chips over it, and let sit for 5 minutes while they melt.
- Shmear the chocolate across your matzoh with a spatula to coat it evenly. Let it sit out for a few hours until hard or in the fridge for a few hours.
- Once the Matzoh Crunch is hardened, crack the pieces up and try not to eat the entire thing in one sitting!
They look super crunchy and delicious! Love DL recipes too.
He is the man! I love reading about his adventures in Paris…
Looks good, did it turn out well?
Addictive. I have to hide it from myself!
Oh my, this looks so addictive!
Oh it is!
This looks tasty and easy! I have never had Matzoh but this would probably be the best way to try it for the first time 🙂
You could also make it with saltines, which are fairly similar 🙂
Ohhhhmyyyy, I wish you had a bigger pan to create more of this masterpiece!
I made two batches 🙂
I guess no one will be suffering at your Seder! Wish I was going to be there, too! (I am coming to MYC in April!) ~ David
Hopefully not, although there’s the danger that I’ll eat it all myself… Great news you’re coming to NYC!
I like this idea. GREG
thanks Greg!
That is just way too sinful, love it!
It definitely is, a small piece goes a looong way 🙂
I love how easy this recipe is! And I love how chocolaty and crunchy it looks!

F36-
they’re all delicious!
I´ve never used matzo, or eaten it I think, but this might be the recipe to start! I can understand the crack in the title!
It’s worth a try 🙂 you can try it with saltine crackers also!
This would disappear in minutes in my house! I’d definitely have to make a double batch.
I made a double batch and it went pretty quick! Although I do have a few emergency pieces stashed in the back of the freezer 🙂
When is the next batch being made? I wanna some ;–)

Yay! I remember this from elementary school when classroom moms would bring it in. We used to call it Matzoh Candy and even now, years later, it brings a huge smile to my face 🙂
🙂 it seems to have many names, but like Shakespeare said, ‘a rose by any other name would smell as sweet’…
Oh! My mum made something similar with saltines but I can see how matzoh would be good too!
Thanks Su-Lin! It would probably be good with any crunchy type of cracker 🙂
This sounds and looks delicious. There use to be a sweet little Jewish boy at the school I use to work at who would bring chocolate dipped matzoh in for me when ever his mom would make it. He was so proud of this special treat and of his mother for making it. It was delicious and I always made a big deal about how yummy it was.
That is a sweet story – thank you for sharing 🙂
