For AP food writer Katie Workman, there's only one non-negotiable, must-have Passover dessert recipe — chocolate-covered caramel matzo
On Passover, dessert options can feel limited. No leavened foods are allowed, so the usual recipes for cakes, cookies and the like are off the table . Flourless desserts and/or desserts made with matzo meal are fair game, and there are some great recipes out there . For me, there is only one non-negotiable, must-have Passover dessert: chocolate-covered caramel matzo. Or, as it's more commonly known, Matzo Buttercrunch.
Before you even begin making the caramel, prep your rimmed baking sheet. Line it with aluminum foil, covering the pan completely, including up and over the edges. Then place a sheet of parchment over the foil. This keeps the caramel from spreading under the foil and makes the matzo easy to pull off of the pan. — Look for kosher-for-Passover chocolate and other ingredients if you want a kosher table during the holiday. If you're preparing a dairy-free meal, use margarine instead of butter.
Here it is, adapted from Goldman's website. She notes that the recipe doubles easily and freezes well. She suggests serving small pieces in confectioners’ paper cups as a candy. unsalted matzo boards or sheets 1 cup unsalted butter or unsalted Passover margarine 1 cup light brown sugar 3/4 cup chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet completely with foil, and then cover that with a piece of parchment paper. This is important, as the mixture becomes sticky during baking.
