Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line baking sheets with aluminum foil, ensuring the edges are pinched up to form a lip and prevent drips. Generously grease the foil with butter. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Arrange the matzos on the prepared baking sheets, breaking them in half if necessary to fit. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently until the mixture thickens slightly and turns a deep caramel color, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 7 minutes)

04

Step

Carefully ladle the hot toffee mixture over the matzos, using a rubber spatula to spread it evenly and completely cover the surface. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the toffee is bubbling and thick, approximately 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool until the toffee coating is firm but still pliable, about 15 minutes. (Cook time: 35 minutes)

06

Step

Place the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is just melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat or scorch the chocolate. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

07

Step

Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee-coated matzos. Immediately sprinkle the chopped pecans over the chocolate while it's still wet, pressing them lightly to adhere. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

08

Step

Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator to chill until the chocolate is completely set and firm, about 30 minutes. (Chill time: 30 minutes)

09

Step

Once the matzos are cold and the chocolate is firm, break them into pieces. Store in an airtight container or resealable plastic bags in the refrigerator or freezer for longer storage.

For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate.
Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as walnuts or almonds.
A sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate adds a delightful salty-sweet contrast.
To prevent the toffee from sticking, ensure the aluminum foil is well-greased.
Watch the toffee carefully while it simmers to prevent burning.
