Absolutely Magnificent Caramel Matzoh Crunch

An easy-to-make sweet that stores well and is great for gift-giving.

It starts with a simple caramel of butter and brown sugar that's brought to a boil and cooked briefly before being poured over a layer of unsalted matzoh crackers. It’s then baked and, while still warm, sprinkled with chocolate pieces which are spread once melted. Once cooled, the crackers are broken apart.

The author says that the original recipe used saltines with unsalted tops. Personally, I thought it could have used a pinch of salt…perhaps next time I’ll add it to the caramel before baking. I also thought that the proportion of chocolate to caramel was off….I would have preferred twice as much chocolate to balance the sweet caramel. But that’s just me…..everyone else loved them the way they were. After all, it is called caramel crunch, so the caramel should be the star!
