Ingredients

  • nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
  • 6 pieces salted matzo
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (230 g)
  • 1 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (250 g)
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (280 g)
  • ½ cup roughly chopped roasted, salted pistachios (65 g)
  • ½ cup roughly chopped dried pitted tart cherries (65 g)
  • flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

How to Make It

1. Step
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, then grease with nonstick spray.
2. Step
Arrange the matzo on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, breaking or cutting the crackers with kitchen scissors as needed to fit.
3. Step
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt together the butter, brown sugar, and kosher salt. Once the butter has melted, whisk frequently as the mixture comes to a boil (if it separates, keep whisking and it will come together),then continue to whisk constantly for about 2 minutes, until the mixture is glossy and slightly thickened.
4. Step
Pour the toffee over the matzo crackers and spread as evenly as possible with an offset spatula.
5. Step
Bake the matzo for 5–7 minutes, until the toffee is bubbling and crackled.
6. Step
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the matzo. Let sit for 2–3 minutes for the chocolate to melt, then spread evenly over the toffee with an offset spatula.
7. Step
Immediately sprinkle the pistachios, cherries, and flaky salt all over the chocolate before it sets. Transfer to the refrigerator to set completely, at least 30 minutes.
8. Step
Break the brittle apart with your hands into bite-size pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
9. Step
Enjoy!
