MATZO TOFFEE WITH CANDIED GINGER



Matzo Toffee With Candied Ginger image

Traditional matzo toffee - a Passover-friendly spin on saltine toffee - is an addictive three-layer confection of crackers, brown sugar toffee and melted chocolate. In this version, the chocolate gets a spicy boost from the addition of both fresh ginger juice and chewy candied ginger. Or substitute a topping of cacao nibs, sea salt and/or toasted, chopped nuts. Matzo toffee will keep for at least eight days, stored airtight at room temperature, which will take you through the holidays in the sweetest way possible.

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE MATZO CANDY



Chocolate Toffee Matzo Candy image

This sweet-and-salty holiday treat made with matzo is so delicious, you'll probably want to make it all year.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the foil
5 salted matzo crackers
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (from a 12-ounce bag)
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with nonstick spray. Arrange the matzo crackers in a single layer on the foil, breaking them as necessary to fit. (Depending on their size, you may not need to use all of the crackers.)
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the sugar and kosher salt and bring to a full boil; the mixture should be bubbling all over, not just on the edges. Continue to boil for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally so the sugar and butter caramelize evenly. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the mixture over the top of the matzo. Using a rubber spatula, quickly spread the toffee mixture to coat the matzo. (It does not have to be perfect; the oven will even it out). Bake until the toffee is bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee in an even layer. Let sit until the chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Use an offset spatula to gently spread out the chocolate, then sprinkle with the sea salt, if using. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for another hour to set completely.
  • Break into pieces and serve, or store in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Time 1h25m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 whole matzos
1 cup salted butter
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
20 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line baking sheets with foil and pinch the edges into a lip to contain drips. Grease the foil well with butter. Place the matzos onto the baking sheets, breaking them in half if needed.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan with the brown sugar over medium heat; bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer the mixture until thickened, about 5 minutes. Ladle the hot sugar mixture over the matzos, spreading the mixture over the matzos with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the sugar mixture is bubbling and thick, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool until the toffee coating is firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Place the semisweet chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on Low until the chips are just melted (do not let the chocolate overheat or scorch). Spread the melted chocolate over the toffee-coated matzos; sprinkle chopped pecans on top. Place the baking sheets into the refrigerator until the treats are cold, about 30 minutes. Remove the matzos from the foil, break up into pieces, and store in an airtight container or plastic bags in refrigerator or freezer.
