Don't Pass-over this one….

….you’ll appreciate it whether you’re Jewish or not.

Here’s all you need to know  about Passover—– in two words:

Matzo  Roca

4 whole matzos

1 stick butter

1 cup brown sugar

16 oz. chocolate chips

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.

Lay matzo in a flat jelly roll pan or on cookie sheet that has been greased well.

You can break the matzos to fit into the pan.

Melt butter and add brown sugar and stir till bubbly.

Pour over matzo and spread lightly with a spatula.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.

Take out of oven and turn oven off.

Sprinkle matzo with chocolate chips and return to oven for 1-2 minutes.

It will melt quickly.

Remove from oven and spread melted chocolate with spatula.

Sprinkle with chopped nuts if you want.

Chill in refrigerator.  Break up into pieces when cold.

Can be made in advance ; put into Ziplock bags; and keep in refrigerator.   (Not that it keeps for very  long around me….)

Enjoy…..You can thank me later.

    Oh man, just remembered I still have some of this from last year’s passover. I had never heard of it, sounded so yummy I made a ton and half my guests didn’t show up 🙂

    I love your blog, and read it religiously. Can’t believe it took the matzah almond roca for me to delurk. I’ve made this for years, and it’s always a hit at every seder I’ve been to. I can’t imagine a Passover without it!

    Of course you need your chocolate fix even on Passover.

    Matzah Brei is my favorite Darryl, especially the way Grandma Bertha made it..yummy, but this is a very very strong contender for what you can do with Matzah any time of year! Happy holiday and much warmth to your family!

    Happy Passover!!

    Glad it reminded you. That could never happen here.

    Thank you—and I’m sure your friends will, too!

    Thank you–for letting me know you enjoy my blog. Hope you will continue lurking—in public or private.
    Happy Passover—which is always happier with Matzo Roca.

    What else are holidays for?

  11. Darryle Pollack says

    Actually Alli loves matzo brei and I used to make it all the time; somehow I never thought about eating matzoh roca anytime except Passover. Although now that you suggested it…..

    Happy Passover—hope you are busy with friends, family and chocolate.

    We are passing over passover this year with a cheap imitation quickie seder in FL. But I’m thinking we will have to make time for this.

    Do you put an orange on your seder plate?

  14. Elisa says

    I make this every year with different toppings- shredded coconut, nuts, white chocolate, peanut butter chips… it is my most requested dessert for every holiday.

  15. Darryle Pollack says

    March 29, 2010 at 11:49 am

    How creative–what a great tradition–happy holiday!!

  16. Darryle Pollack says

    Since you’re in Florida, an orange somehow makes sense— I grew up there, but never heard of one on a seder plate.

    I use pecans…for that pecan pie taste. Happy Passover…next year, etc etc

    Going to share your Matzah Roca recipe with my students. Yum yum.
    Happy Passover and hugs to you.

    Happy Passover to you too.
    Your students will love it—-although I’m not sure it would be possible for them to love you more than they already do—

    Will have to try that. This year I got back late from east coast, I had no nuts in the house–So I made it without nuts—naked—-but no one seemed to notice.
