Print Recipe

A quick and easy holiday treat combining crunchy matzo, buttery toffee, and bittersweet dark chocolate for an addictive bark perfect for gifting and parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 sheets plain, unsalted matzo
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup (200 g) packed brown sugar
  • 12 oz (340 g) dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (60-70% cocoa recommended)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Arrange 4 sheets of matzo side by side on the prepared baking sheet, allowing slight overlap.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  4. Bring the butter and sugar mixture to a rolling boil while stirring constantly. Let it boil for exactly 3 minutes without stirring.
  5. Immediately pour the hot toffee evenly over the matzo sheets and spread carefully with a spatula.
  6. Bake the toffee-covered matzo in the oven for 5-7 minutes until bubbling and thickened but not burnt.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Sprinkle 12 oz dark chocolate chips evenly over the warm toffee.
  8. Let the chocolate sit for about 5 minutes to soften, then spread evenly with a spatula until smooth.
  9. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon sea salt flakes over the chocolate while still soft.
  10. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until fully set and firm.
  11. Once hardened, break the bark into irregular pieces with your hands or a knife.

Notes

Use unsalted butter for better control of saltiness. Stick strictly to the 3-minute boil time to avoid burning. Warm spatula under hot water if toffee is hard to spread. Let toffee cool slightly before adding chocolate to prevent seizing. Sea salt flakes enhance flavor balance. Bark can be customized with nuts, peppermint, or white chocolate. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
