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.

40 saltine crackers (about one sleeve, Do not use unsalted)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cover cookie sheet with a single layer of saltines.
  • Boil butter, sugar, and vanilla for one minute. Pour evenly over saltines. If needed, gently spread to make even. Bake for 7 minutes.
  • While toffee is still hot and bubbly, pour chocolate chips evenly on top of candy. When the chocolate chips begin to melt, gently spread chocolate over toffee. Freeze for one hour. Break into pieces and enjoy!
  • ***I have sprinkled nuts and/or drizzled white chocolate over the top of this candy to make it even better, but the basic recipe is outstanding as well. You can also change the type of chocolate that you use in the chips. White chocolate chips and milk chocolate both work, but make the candy incredibly sweet.***.

I was surprised this recipe wasn't on zaar yet. I got this recipe from Carnation and have been making it for a couple years. I tried one of the other versions on zaar, which are similar but does not have the sweetened condensed milk in it. I like this recipe much better! I hope you enjoy :)

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE CANDY DELIGHT



CHOCOLATE TOFFEE CANDY DELIGHT image

Categories     Candy     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

1.5 sleeves of saltine crackers
1 stick (4 oz) butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups chocolate chips
Optional- chopped peanuts, pecans, pistachios, etc.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet w/ aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. 2. Arrange the crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet so that there are no empty spaces in between them. Crush any remaining crackers into small crumbs and set aside for now. 3. Place the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir while the butter melts, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. (Or do this in the microwave- beware of boiling over.) Once boiled, pour the sugar-butter mixture over the crackers on the baking sheet in an even layer, trying to cover most of the crackers. If you miss some spots, don't worry as the toffee will spread in the oven. 4. Bake at 350 degrees for five minutes, until the toffee is bubbling all over. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for one minute. 5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the hot toffee, and allow them to sit for one minute to soften and melt. Once softened, use an offset spatula or knife to spread the melted chocolate over the entire surface of the toffee in an even layer. While the chocolate is still sticky, sprinkle the top with the reserved crushed crackers. 6. Refrigerate the pan to set the toffee and chocolate for about 30 minutes. Once set, break into small uneven pieces by hand, and enjoy! Store uneaten saltine toffee in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the toffee from burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer: This is essential for making sure that the toffee reaches the correct temperature.
  • Be patient: Making toffee takes time. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a sticky mess.

Conclusion:

Toffee is a delicious and versatile candy that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you like it plain, with nuts, or covered in chocolate, there's sure to be a toffee recipe out there that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give toffee a try. You won't be disappointed.
