Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets matzoh crackers
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or pecans)
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Break the matzoh sheets into small bite-sized pieces and set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the broken matzoh pieces. Gently fold the matzoh into the chocolate, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
Add the chopped nuts and dried cranberries (if using) to the matzoh mixture. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spoon small clusters of the chocolate-matzoh mixture onto the parchment paper, spacing them out slightly.
If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each cluster for a sweet and salty flavor.
Refrigerate the clusters for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once set, transfer the clusters to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept refrigerated for up to one week. Serve and enjoy!
