Substances
2-3 sheets plain matzo
10 oz semi or bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened finely flaked coconut
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk*
3/4 cup toffee chunks**
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 levels. Completely butter a 9×13 inch baking pan. Put aside.
Place the matzo within the backside of the pan, breaking as wanted to suit and canopy the underside of the pan as a lot as attainable.
Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips, then the coconut, and almonds over the matzo. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly excessive, and unfold with the again of a spoon or spatula till the combination is evenly coated.
Bake for 25-Half-hour till edges are golden brown. Take away to a wire rack and instantly evenly sprinkle with toffee chunks.
Enable to chill on a wire rack utterly earlier than slicing. It will take rather a lot longer than you anticipate.
Retailer within the fridge or on a cool counter in an air-tight container. Freeze leftovers as much as 6 months if desired.
*Ensure that to make use of sweetened condensed milk that’s marked as Kosher for Passover or use one of many many recipes for making it your self which might be out there on-line.
**I positioned this toffee in a resealable bag and hit it with a rolling pin to interrupt it into chunks. I sprinkled each the bigger chunks and smaller bits.
My ideas:
I used to be attempting to think about a brand new dessert or deal with for Passover this yr, we’re not religous however I usually make one thing every year. The pineapple coconut matzo granola I made years in the past was nice however not precisely a dessert. I really like making macaroons however I felt like one thing completely different. I used to be going to make matzo toffee and name it a day however then I had a greater thought.
Final yr I found Magic Bars (or Hi there Dolly Bars or 7-Layer Bars) for the primary time. I believe bars are extra common in different components of the nation and are a bit quaint however I didn’t develop up consuming them. We at all times had brownies or black bottoms, not bars! I made what I referred to as cocoanuts bars final yr then for New 12 months’s Eve to go together with our numbers theme, I made speculoos butterscotch 7-layer bars. They’re really easy to make and the flavors are actually open to tweaking.
Why not substitute the cookie layer with matzo? Whereas I really like these bars they’re very candy, and I’ve tried a couple of issues to chop down on the sweetness, specifically utilizing very darkish chocolate and/or unsweetened coconut however it’s a bar that makes use of sweetened condensed milk as a binder. There’s not a lot you are able to do! Utilizing a cookie layer doesn’t assist both. Why not use matzo as a substitute? It’s not candy, is ideal for Passover and doesn’t want butter to assist it stick collectively and canopy a baking dish which makes the bar lighter as properly.
