Ingredients
Scale
- 3 sheets matzo (regular or whole wheat)
- 12 ounces (340g) good-quality chocolate chips or bars (semi-sweet or dark chocolate)
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios), flaky sea salt, mini marshmallows, dried fruit, crushed candy canes, shredded coconut, cacao nibs
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Break the matzo sheets into halves or thirds and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or melt over a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the arranged matzo sheets and spread evenly about 1/8 inch thick.
- Sprinkle your chosen toppings evenly over the warm chocolate.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 20-30 minutes until the bark is firm.
- Break the bark into rustic pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use quality chocolate for best melting and flavor. Melt chocolate slowly and stir frequently to avoid burning. Let matzo come to room temperature before spreading chocolate. Add toppings while chocolate is warm. Store bark in a cool place or fridge to prevent melting. If chocolate seizes, stir in a teaspoon of vegetable oil or butter to smooth it out.
