Make Your Own Passover Candy

By Merri Cohen April 1, 2015

This Passover recipe is a favorite of my kids! We go crazy, and use all different kinds of baking chips (milk chocolate, toffee, peanut butter, dark chocolate, white chocolate). Then we paint on the chocolates, mix them up, and cover them with colored sprinkles, nonpareils, nuts, candy, etc. They are truly a work of art! And this is a perfect recipe for getting rid of all the leftover matzah after Passover!

Ingredients:

1/2 lb matzah

1/2 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

8 ounces chocolate chips

Directions:

Line a cookie sheet with foil and lay matzah on pan.

Melt brown sugar with butter in saucepan; boil until mixture coats a spoon.

Brush matzah with brown sugar mixture.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 3-4 minutes (watch closely-it burns easily!!!) until it starts to bubble.

Cover with chocolate chips and put back in the oven until the chips start to melt.

Spread the chocolate to cover the matzah. Optional: Sprinkle with nuts, sprinkles, candy, etc.

Refrigerate chocolate-covered matzah until hard, then break into pieces.
