Method
Prepare the Matzo
- Break the matzo sheets into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-2 inches each. Don't worry about making them perfectly uniform – irregular shapes actually add to the rustic charm and ensure better coating coverage. Pro tip: Save any small crumbs that break off – they're perfect for sprinkling over ice cream later!
Make the Chocolate Coating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth and melted. Pro tip: Don't rush this step – overheating can cause the chocolate to seize up and become grainy.
- Stir in vanilla extract until well combined. The mixture should be glossy and smooth.
Coat the Matzo
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the matzo pieces in a large bowl. Using a wooden spoon, gently toss until every piece is thoroughly coated with the chocolate mixture. Pro tip: Work quickly here as the chocolate will start to set as it cools.
Add the Powdered Sugar
- Transfer the chocolate-coated matzo to a large ziplock bag and add the powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until all pieces are evenly coated with a generous layer of powdered sugar. Pro tip: This is where kids can help – they love the shaking part!
Set and Serve
- Spread the coated matzo pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the coating to set completely before serving. Pro tip: If your kitchen is warm, pop the tray in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to help the coating set faster.
