Matzo Toffee
Jay Lieberman, FoodStuffs, Chicago
1 (10 oz) box unsalted Passover matzo
1 pound butter (4 sticks)
2 cups brown sugar, packed
4 cups chocolate (to make it kosher for Passover, use Passover chocolate)
Line two cookie sheets with aluminum foil. Lay matzo in a single layer on each sheet.
In a medium saucepan, bring butter and brown sugar to a boil over medium heat. Continue to boil until mixture no longer looks oily.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spread butter-brown sugar mixture over matzo as evenly as possible and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until mixture is bubbling.
Chop chocolate well and melt in a double boiler, stirring often.
Immediately after removing matzo from the oven, pour melted chocolate on top and spread evenly. Let sit at room temperature until chocolate hardens, about 1 hour. Break toffee into small pieces and enjoy.
