Chocolate Sea Salt Matzoh Brittle

Serves: 4 people

Active Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 sheets matzoh 

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (3 sticks)

  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (light or dark)

  • Kosher salt 

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate

  • Flaky sea salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit

Line two baking sheets with tin foil. Add matzoh to the tin foil, breaking up the sheets to fit on the trays. 

In a saucepan over a medium-high heat, combine butter and brown sugar, stirring constantly until it bubbles and boils. Let it continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, you will know it is done when it starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. 

Remove from heat, add in vanilla extract and a three-finger pinch of kosher salt. Stir to combine and pour over the matzoh, using the back of a spoon to evenly distribute. 

Place in the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes until the caramel is bubbling and golden.

Remove from the oven and top with chocolate chips, let the chips sit 3-4 minutes to melt and then using the back of a spoon, spread the melted chocolate chips over the matzoh sheets. Top with flaky sea salt and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate is set. 

Break up with your hands into pieces and enjoy! 

Cooks note: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
