CRUNCHY CHOCOLATE MATZO BARK



Crunchy Chocolate Matzo Bark image

I love matzo. It's got great crunch and, while it's pleasantly bland, it is like a canvas for other flavors to work their magic. I also love the slightly toasted taste it naturally has. This bark has matzo as its foundation; the salted caramel and chocolate layers are bolstered by dried fruit and toasted seeds. The rainbow sprinkles are vibrant and fun. I love their texture against the nutty pumpkin seeds and pleasantly chewy apricots. They make me feel like a kid again. Store these in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge and enjoy for a couple of days. They won't be around longer than that anyway.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
4 full squares unsalted matzo
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, diced
2 cups dark brown sugar
One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted
1/3 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Flaky salt, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange 2 oven racks in the center of the oven.
  • Cover 2 baking sheets with a tight layer of aluminum foil, then place an additional sheet of foil on top. Spray the foil with nonstick spray as a precaution. Spread 2 pieces of matzo in a single layer on each of the baking sheets.
  • In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves and becomes smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then shut off the heat.
  • Use a large spoon to spread the brown sugar mixture over the matzo, coating the tops of all the squares. Bake until the sugar bubbles and browns, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • In a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chocolate. Let the matzo cool 10 minutes, then use a rubber spatula to gently spread the melted chocolate over the brown sugar layer.
  • While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle evenly with the pumpkin seeds, apricots, sprinkles and salt, if using. Cool in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
  • Use a serrated knife to "saw" the bark into neat squares or break the matzo into pieces. I like to serve this treat from a cookie tin or a little basket to make it even more fun to eat.

NO BAKE CHOCOLATE CRUNCH CUPS



No Bake Chocolate Crunch Cups image

Crispy, crunchy, peanut buttery chocolate crunch cups, with just 3 ingredients.

Provided by Chocolate Covered Katie

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup chocolate chips or broken-up chocolate ((6oz))
1/2 cup to 1 cup rice crispies cereal, (depending on desired crispiness)
optional 2 tsp oil
optional peanut butter or allergy-friendly sub
add-ins of choice ((see list earlier in the post))

Steps:

  • Start by carefully melting the chocolate. Stir in the oil, if using. (I always use it, because it makes the chocolate much smoother.) You can either stir some nut butter in with the chocolate now or save it for later to add on top if you wish. Stir everything together with the rice crispies. Smooth into a lined muffin tin or mini muffin tin, OR use a mini cookie scoop and place on a parchment-lined plate. Refrigerate or freeze to set. Top with peanut butter if desired. I like to store leftovers in the fridge, but they can easily be taken to a party or left out at room temperature for a few hours without melting.View Nutrition Facts

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better your cups will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 60%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Melt the chocolate slowly and carefully: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become unusable. Use a double boiler or microwave the chocolate in short intervals, stirring constantly.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Get creative with your toppings! You can use anything from nuts and seeds to dried fruit and candy. Just make sure the toppings are small enough to fit in the chocolate cups.
  • Let the chocolate cups cool completely: This will help them to set properly and prevent them from melting.
  • Store the chocolate cups in a cool, dry place: This will help them to stay fresh and delicious for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Crunchy chocolate cups are an easy and delicious treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, and holiday gatherings. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique chocolate cups that are sure to impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
