This recipe was originally developed by author Marcy Goldman in the 1980s. She named it Matzo Buttercrunch, and it became a sensation in food sections in newspapers across the country. She shared that her toddler son wouldn’t eat any Passover foods, so she came up with this Passover classic that has won a place on Passover dessert plates around the world. This is a serious hit on my Passover table year in and year out as well. You’ll find kids love it as much as adults.

I find that having everything organized in small bowls is a big help in putting these sweet gems together. I also use a metal offset spatula to help spread the caramel and chocolate quickly. If you don’t have one, use the back of a spoon for spreading.
