Matzah Almond Croccante

Ingredients

8 SERVINGS

Nonstick vegetable oil spray

5

sheets matzo

1

3/4 cups sugar

3/4

cup margarine

1/4

cup honey

1/3

cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted

5

ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 72% cacao), melted

1/4

teaspoon cayenne pepper

1

1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; coat with nonstick spray. Place matzo on sheet in a single layer, breaking as needed and overlapping slightly, leaving no gaps.

Step 2

Stir sugar, margarine, honey, and 1/4 cup water in a heavy saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and boil without stirring, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush, until caramel is a deep amber color, 13–15 minutes. Pour caramel evenly over matzo. Immediately sprinkle almonds over. Let cool.

Step 3

Drizzle melted chocolate over caramel. Sprinkle cayenne and salt over. Let stand until chocolate sets, about 30 minutes. Break into pieces.
