Passover in our household means one very important thing: I will be cooking Grandma Roz’s Carmel & Chocolate covered matzah. Yum!
My mother-in-law died eleven years ago. She was still in her fifties, and her life tragically ended because of ovarian cancer. I finished converting to Judaism just six months after she died. Without having another female in our immediate family who was Jewish, I sometimes feel a little lost. Thank goodness Grandma Roz left behind her recipes. Using her Passover recipes really makes me feel connected to her, like a lifeline in the kitchen. I know she would be so amazed by our beautiful little family.
It is my honor to share this recipe with you. Carmel & chocolate covered matzah is a simple Passover dessert that is easy to make and your family and guests will love it!
Ingrediants:
* Matzah
* Brown Sugar
* 1 Cup of Butter
* Chocolate Chips
First, preheat your oven to 375.
Over a low flame, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar. Stir constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and pour over the matzahs. Don’t worry about covering each matzah entirely.
After you have poured out all the carmel, spread it across the matzah with a knife.
Bake for 10 minutes and then remove from oven. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot matzah immediately after they come out of the oven.
Let the chocolate chips sit for five minutes. Then, use a knife to spread the chocolate across the matzah. Let them cool, and then using a large knife, cut them into long strips. Store in the refrigerator.
I served this for dessert after our Passover Seder Saturday night. They were a HUGE hit. Enjoy!
Okay, matzah always sounded drab to me. I didn’t know it could be dressed up like this … yumm!

That looks so yummy. I haven't had matzah in years, and definitely not with caramel and chocolate. Of course anything with chocolate sounds good to me right now.
My butt got wider just reading this post. It’s the memory I’ll focus on instead. So wonderful to have this piece of her that lives on.

A sweet story with a sweet, mouthwatering ending! I enjoyed the personal sentiments that you shared about your mother-in-law. Great pics!
WOW that looks awesome! I LOVE all things chocolate! : ) Pinning!

This looks yummy. Your story reminds me a little of my wife and my mom. Mom passed in 07 but she had taught my wife to make banana cream pie and coconut cream pie so most holidays my wife reconnects with my mom through the baking and recipes.
Awww. that’s wonderful, Kirk!

I rarely eat gluten and haven’t had sugar for about 32 years, so I can only appreciate this recipe in platonic form
One of the things I miss the most is matzo brei and, if I had had this recipe back in the day, it would have probably been even harder to go without! Yum even in my mind only

Vicki – We are making Matzah Pizza in our restaurant. (FreshBrothers.com) We’re also serving gluten-free matzah and I have to say, it’s FANTASTIC!!!

Looks delish. I’m ignorant though. Please tell me what Matzah is and where do I get it? Adina’s suggestion sounds great too! Yumm.
Hi Kathy – Matzah is bread (cracker like) made without yeast, so it’s unleavened. I hope you’ll be able to try it sometime!
Where do you live?

This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
This is very simple. Our son converted to Judaism and our grandkids are Jewish. Is Matzah gluten free?

Definitely not gluten free, Julieanne — sad to say. There are now gluten-free matzo-like crackers available — but they're not very good!
Beth – We are making Matzah Pizza at Fresh Brothers. The GF Matzah that we carry is amazing!

Julianne, typically matzah is not gluten-free, but you can buy gf matzah. Whole Foods carries it and it’s REALLY GOOD!

Looks lovely; Protestants make this with saltines. Mazel!
Can you imagine that people think matzoh is dull?! Recipes are a lovely way to sustain a relative’s memory, especially at holiday time. I hope this recipe lives on through the years and brings you sweet memories.

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I'm going to make it…
YUM! I used coconut last year, too.
I add crushed heath bits, coconut and/or walnuts to the chocolate or splatter it with white chocolate too
