Okay, I have be honest with you...this stuff is like CRACK to me...holy moly! It is sweet, chocolately, salty, crunchy goodeness!!! It is the BEST "cure" for PMS...EVER!!! My kids love it and my poor husband can't quit eating it either. Needless to say, I don't make it very often...if I did, I would seriously weigh 300 lbs. It is fun and easy to make...get the kiddos involved.
5 sheets whole wheat matzo
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips*
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted**
1 tsp fleur de sel (you can use kosher salt)
Preheat oven to 275°F.
Line a 13"x17" in. rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place matzos in an even layer. You may need to break some matzos to fit the pan, and you should have extra matzo left over.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and immediately reduce the temperature to low. Cook, stirring, until sugar has completely dissolved and beings to bubble. Drizzle toffee over matzo and spread evenly to cover using an off set spatula.
Transfer toffee-covered matzo to oven and bake until the toffee gets shiny for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand for 5 minutes, and spread melted chocolate over matzo to cover. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds and salt.
Transfer matzo to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours.
Break chilled matzo toffee into pieces. Store Matzo toffee in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
* Try using one cup chocolate chips and one cup peanut butter chips...super tasty.
**My kiddos are not big nut fans, so I leave them off...do whatever makes you and your famly happy! To toast the sliced almonds, place in a single layer on a microwave safe plate. Cook 1 minute and stir. Continue cooking at 30 second intervals, until nuts are golden and fragrant.
