    Title: Marcy's Chocolate Toffee Matzo Crunch
    Categories: Candy, Snacks, Chocolate, Nuts
    Yield: 12 servings

    6 Unsalted matzos
    1 c Unsalted butter
    1 c Brown sugar
    1 1/4 c Chopped dark chocolate
    - chips
    2 tb Chopped pistachios
    Salt

    YOU WILL ALSO NEED: Sheet tray, parchment paper, foil,
    heavy bottom sauce pan, spatula

    Set the oven @ 375+|F/190+|C.

    Line a sheet tray with a layer of foil, then cover the
    foil with a sheet of parchment. Evenly cover the sheet
    tray with matzos. Break or cut the matzos into smaller
    pieces if necessary.

    In a heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, brown
    sugar, and a generous pinch of sea salt. Cook over
    medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture
    comes to a boil (about 2 to 4 minutes). Boil for 3
    additional minutes and continue stirring constantly.

    Remove from the heat and pour the toffee mixture over
    the matzos.

    Use a spatula to spread evenly across the entire surface
    of the matzo. Make sure you spread it out fairly quickly
    or it will start to get sticky and become harder to
    smooth over.

    Place the baking sheet in the oven and immediately
    reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. Bake for 15 minutes.
    Check frequently to be sure that the mixture is not
    burning. If it appears to browning too quickly, remove
    the tray from the oven and reduce the heat to 325
    degrees F, then replace the tray when the temperature
    drops a bit.

    Once 15 minutes have passed, remove the matzos from the
    oven and evenly sprinkle the chopped chocolate chips
    over the top.

    Let stand for 5 minutes, then spread the chocolate over
    the matzo.

    Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and a light sprinkle of
    sea salt over the top of the melted chocolate.

    While the matzos are still warm, break them into smaller
    squares or pieces.

    Place in the freezer until the topping has set. Serve
    straight from the freezer, chilled, or at room
    temperature
