Matzah Brittle
the best Passover dessert

Rich and addicting, this is delicious as an ice cream topping or a sweet nibble with fruit.

6 square matzos

3/4 cup pecans, chopped

1 cup margarine

1 3/4 cups brown sugar

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips, optional

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange matzahs in a large baking pans in one layer. Spread the nuts evenly over the matzahs. Place several sheets of waxed paper on the counter or in another baking pan for later use.

2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt margarine and brown sugar. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring often.

3. Pour hot margarine-sugar mixture over matzahs. Immediately place in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes and bake until matzahs begin to brown.

4. Remove matzahs from oven. Using a metal spatula, quickly move matzahs to the prepared waxed paper. Scatter chocolate chips over the warm crackers. Allow to stand until the chocolate chips melt on the cooling brittle, about 30 minutes.

5. When completely cooled, break into two inch pieces and store in a tightly covered container.
