What You'll Need
Ingredients
• 5 pieces plain matzah pieces
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios
• 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries
• 1 tablespoon sprinkles
• Optional: white chocolate drizzle
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your Wonder Oven Pro to 350°F. If you’re not using a non-stick baking sheet, line with foil or parchment, then arrange 5 pieces plain matzah pieces in a single layer, breaking pieces to fit.
Step 2
To make the toffee, combine butter and dark brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Stir until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 3–5 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as it can burn.
Step 4
Remove from heat and add vanilla extract, a pinch sea salt, and tahini. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Step 5
Immediately pour the hot toffee over the matzah and spread to the edges.
Step 6
Bake for 7–10 minutes until the toffee is bubbling all over.
Step 7
Remove matzah from the oven and scatter semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top. Let sit for 3–5 minutes to melt.
Step 8
Spread the melted chocolate into an even layer with a spatula, going all the way to the edges. Scatter on your choice of toppings.
Step 9
Let cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until set.
Step 10
Break into pieces and serve. Store in an air tight container.
💡 Make It Yours
Swap in milk or dark chocolate chips, use any nuts you love, or skip the tahini for a classic matzah toffee crunch. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top of the chocolate takes this over the edge.
