Many people observe Passover, a Jewish holiday that commemorates the Israelites' liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. During Passover, Jews abstain from eating leavened bread and other foods that are prohibited according to Jewish law. For those who love to bake, this can be a challenge, especially when it comes to finding recipes for Passover-friendly desserts. However, with a little creativity, it is possible to make delicious Passover desserts that are both delicious and satisfying. One such dessert is Passover brownies with chocolate wine glaze. This recipe is easy to make and uses ingredients that are readily available at most grocery stores. The brownies are made with a combination of almond flour, cocoa powder, and sugar, and they are flavored with vanilla and cinnamon. The chocolate wine glaze is made with melted chocolate, wine, and a touch of butter. When the brownies are baked and cooled, they are topped with the chocolate wine glaze and served.

Steps:
- Make brownies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with wax paper or greased foil.
- Melt chocolate and margarine in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
- Beat eggs, sugar, and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until pale and thick. Beat in chocolate in 3 batches on low speed. Stir in zest, matzo meal, and nuts just until blended.
- Spread batter in baking pan and bake in middle of oven until firm and a tester comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pan on rack, then invert onto a platter and remove paper or foil.
- Make glaze:
- Whisk together sugar, cocoa, and wine in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking, then simmer 2 minutes, whisking occasionally. Add chocolate and whisk until melted. Remove from heat and whisk in margarine until smooth. Chill glaze, stirring occasionally, until spreadable.
- Spread glaze over brownies and arrange walnut halves on top. Cut into 16 squares with a large knife, wiping it off with a damp cloth between cuts.
PASSOVER (PESACH) BROWNIES
I experimented for years to come up with a brownie made with matzo ... this is the best!

Steps:
- Beat eggs and sugar. Add oil. Mix in cake meal and cocoa. Add nuts (or use the nuts as a topping).
- Bake in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 35 minutes. The secret to moist brownies, Pesach or otherwise, is to underbake them. Check them at 30 minutes. I also put nuts on top rather than in the brownies for two reasons: They make the top look good without having to frost them and, for those who don 't or can't eat nuts, they are easily removed without having to search for them.

PASSOVER CHOCOLATE BROWNIES - PAREVE
This was adapted, doubled and adjusted from the Breuer's Teacher's Seminary cookbook. It won't win secular or year-round gourmet awards, but it makes yummy, simple and light Passover brownies that don't have an overly potato-starchy aftertaste. Our Passover utensils are limited: this uses only the mixer, a liquid measuring cup (also used to check the eggs) and a half-cup-sized dry measuring cup. The brownies come out about 1.25 inches high. All the best, CLKL

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment, and spread hazelnuts on top. Bake until fragrant and toasted, about 10 minutes. Place nuts in a clean kitchen towel, and rub to remove loose skins. Place 1/3 cup nuts in bowl of food processor, and pulse until finely ground; reserve. Roughly chop remaining 1 cup nuts, and set aside.
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with margarine; dust with cocoa powder. Whisk together remaining 3/4 cup cocoa powder, ground hazelnuts, and matzo meal; set aside.
- In a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat yolks and brown sugar on medium-high speed until mixture holds a ribbonlike trail for 3 seconds when you raise the whisk, about 45 seconds. Fold in 1 cup nut puree from fudge glaze recipe. Transfer to a large bowl; wash and dry mixer bowl and attachment. Place egg whites and salt in mixer bowl; beat with whisk attachment on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. With mixer running, slowly add superfine sugar; beat until stiff and glossy. Fold egg whites and ground-hazelnut mixture into egg-yolk mixture. Fold in melted margarine. Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top with an offset spatula.
- Transfer to oven; bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Invert pan, and remove cake. Using a serrated knife, slice cake into two layers. Place a 9-inch cake round on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Place bottom layer of cake on round; spread 1/2 cup fudge glaze on top. Place second layer on bottom layer. Pour remaining glaze over cake, using the offset spatula to cover sides. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- When ready to serve, press chopped hazelnuts onto sides.

This recipe is based on a recipe I found online I wrote down the ingredients on a shopping list but was unable to find the recipe again, so I decided to post it here with the adjustments I made to it. It was really a big hit with my family and doesn't taste Passover-y at all. Hope you all enjoy.

PASSOVER BROWNIES
Need a chocolate fix during the holidays? Though I'm not Jewish, this recipe looked intriguing to me so I'm saving it as a gift the next time I'm invited to a Seder. (Yes, in my kitchen it would not be Kosher, but my friends are not that religious.) The combination of fruits --raisins, bananas and applesauce -- should give these a very moist brownie like texture.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your brownies. Choose a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a rich, dark flavor.
- Don't overbeat the batter: Overbeating the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the brownies cool completely before glazing them: This will help the glaze to set properly.
- Serve the brownies with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream: This will take your brownies to the next level!
Conclusion:
These Passover brownies with chocolate wine glaze are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are celebrating Passover or just looking for a special dessert, these brownies are sure to please.
