Chocolate Matzo Crackers Treat (Print Version)

Crisp matzo coated in chocolate and topped with nuts or dried fruit for a sweet and salty snack.

# 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

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

# Steps:

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 over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted.
03 - Pour the melted chocolate over the matzo pieces, spreading evenly with a spatula to cover each piece completely.
04 - Immediately sprinkle with chopped nuts, dried fruit, and a pinch of flaky sea salt if desired while the chocolate is still warm.
05 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set and firm to the touch.
06 - Break into smaller pieces and serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.
