What a delightful treat! Crunchy matzo, sweet toffee, and a hint of sea salt come together in perfect harmony.

As a child, my most vivid memories of Passover were shaped by the sensory experiences that unfolded during our family’s seders. At our family’s Seders, we relied on the children’s Haggadah, which ensured that our celebrations were always concise, lasting around twenty minutes. This format also led to a lively atmosphere, characterized by creative chanting and improvisational “rapping” – think “Let’s rap about the seven plagues!” and playful reenactments like pretending to be exhausted after traversing the desert for as long as the Jewish people did. I’ve never had the pleasure of attending a traditional Passover Seder. I’m genuinely looking forward to the experience.

Growing up, I developed a profound affection for Jewish culture, deeply rooted in my maternal lineage. Although my understanding of Jewish customs is limited to recognizing items on a traditional Seder plate, reciting the blessing for lighting Hanukkah candles, and tossing around a few well-worn Yiddish expressions with ease, my admiration for the culture far exceeds its boundaries.

Here’s a revised version: Which brings me to this recipe – perfect for Passover. YES.). This is matzo toffee. Meet the simplest, most divine confectionery creation that will effortlessly win your heart – a sweet treat that’s out of this world! After an arduous quest that took me to three different grocery stores before finally procuring the elusive box of matzo, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of vindication and triumph. It did. Duh.
