If garnished with mint leaves and strawberries, this strawberry cake with fresh strawberry puree looks lovely.

Ingredients
- 4 ½ sheets of salted matzo
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 8 ounces chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Cover the bottom of the prepared dish with matzohs, breaking and fitting pieces into spaces as needed.
- Cook the margarine and brown sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat until the mixture is well combined and bubbling, about 3 minutes; pour over the matzohs in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the syrup is thickened and bubbling, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips. Let the candy stand for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the candy with a spatula. Cool completely and break into pieces to serve.

A new Passover tradition. Buttery and yummy
15 minutes in the oven is way too long. Totally burned it!
Close friend made some during passover and I loved it!!!! Easy snack!
I’ve been making this recipe for years but mine called for white sugar, not brown sugar, and it called for something like 5 minutes in a 400 degree oven. I followed this recipe and the cook time wound up being probably double what it should have been so I wound up with burnt caramel — yuck. I might try this again but next time I know better.
We were doing a Night in Bethlehem at church and wanted snacks that were Jewish or period. I couldn’t find the matzo anywhere. I substituted oyster crackers in desperation. IT WAS A HIT!!!!! YUM!!!!
My husband and I are goyim and we love this stuff! I have to give it away or I would eat it all myself. It keeps well tightly wrapped in the freezer, too.
a friend gave me this recipe last year, I didn’t believe it could taste so good! It tastes just like a Heath Bar. We acutally used saltine crackers and followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Everyone loved it! Give it a try and you will be surprised!
I’ve made this recipe before, from a fantastic book I found at my library, so I know it can be awesome! I had some problems with this one, though it could very easily have been my fault somehow, which is why I’m giving it a high rating. I used unsalted butter instead of margarine, so maybe that’s what messed me up? I followed all other directions to the letter and when I removed it from the oven, the matzoh had floated to the top! Anyone else have this happen? Also, my chocolate chips crystalized from the intense heat, so I would recommend a brief cool-off period just in case. This can be a delicious recipe, and I wish you better luck than I had! Thanks for posting, CC. 🙂
