Recipe: Matza Brickle (freeze ahead)

MATZA BRICKLE


4 sheets matza
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
12 ounces (2 cups) chocolate morsels
1 cup coarsely ground walnuts or almonds, or sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line large cookie sheet with sides with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Lay out matza as close as possible in 1 layer in pan, breaking pieces to fit.

Melt butter with brown sugar in saucepan, stirring frequently, until it bubbles. Pour over matza; spread to coat. Put in oven for a minute or two.

Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate morsels over top and return to oven 1 minute, or until morsels are soft.

Remove from oven and with spatula spread chocolate to cover the matza. Sprinkle with nuts. Freeze 20 minutes, or until hard.

Crack, put in plastic zipper bags, and store in freezer.

Serves about 12
