Chocolate Covered Matzo Crackers (Printable)

Crisp matzo layered with melted chocolate and topped with nuts or dried fruit for a quick sweet-savory bite.

# What You'll Need:

→ Crackers

01 - 4 sheets unsalted matzo

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 7 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped
03 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter or margarine

→ Toppings (optional)

04 - 1/3 cup chopped toasted nuts (almonds, pecans, or pistachios)
05 - 2 tbsp dried cranberries or raisins, chopped
06 - Flaky sea salt, to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Break matzo sheets into large pieces and arrange in a single layer on the prepared sheet.
02 - Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each burst, until fully melted.
03 - Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the matzo pieces. Using a spatula, spread the chocolate to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.
04 - Immediately sprinkle chopped nuts, dried fruit, and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the chocolate while still wet, pressing gently to adhere.
05 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is completely firm and set to the touch.
06 - Break into smaller, bite-sized pieces and serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
