MATZO-ALMOND CROCCANTE


Matzo-Almond Croccante

The stores are giving free Matzo this time of year. So what do you do with them? This idea is artfully done, delicious and easy. You can make this brittle and it keeps for 2 days.


Matzo- Almond Croccante


Nonstick spray
5 sheets Matzo
1 ¾ cups sugar
¾ cup margarine
¼ cup honey
1/3 sliced almonds, lightly toasted
5 ounces semisweet chocolate
¼ cayenne Pepper
1 ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt



Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; coat with nonstick spray. Place matzo on the sheet in a single layer, breaking as needed and overlapping slightly, leaving no gaps.

Stir sugar, margarine, honey and ¼ cup water in a saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and boil without stirring, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides.  Cook until caramel turns a deep amber color. 13 – 15 minutes. Pour caramel evenly over matzo. Immediately sprinkle almonds over. Let cool.

Drizzle melted chocolate over caramel. Sprinkle cayenne and salt over. Let stand until chocolate sets. Break into pieces and enjoy.
