Ingredients
- 2 sheets matzoh crackers
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or pecans)
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Break the matzoh sheets into small bite-sized pieces and set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Step 4
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the broken matzoh pieces. Gently fold the matzoh into the chocolate, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
Step 5
Add the chopped nuts and dried cranberries (if using) to the matzoh mixture. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spoon small clusters of the chocolate-matzoh mixture onto the parchment paper, spacing them out slightly.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each cluster for a sweet and salty flavor.
Step 8
Refrigerate the clusters for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Step 9
Once set, transfer the clusters to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept refrigerated for up to one week. Serve and enjoy!
