Chocolate-Covered Matzo, Three Ways

With Passover right around the corner, you're probably flipping through a variety of food magazines, thoughtfully putting together your Seder menu, right? Well, when it comes to dessert, look no further. Taking inspiration from the season and uhm, elsewhere, Matt and I've come up with three different takes on the chocolate-covered matzo. You're welcome!

Version 1: 

Chocolate-Covered Matzo á la Martha Stewart adapted from Martha Stewart Living

makes three matzos

5 oz. dark chocolate, chopped

Matzos

chili-spiced dried mango (available at Trader Joe's), chopped

roasted, salted pistachios, chopped

Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Using a small offset spatula, spread melted chocolate over matzo. Sprinkle chopped dried mango and pistachios on top. Leave at room temperature until chocolate sets up.

(This was delicious, kind of like a chocolate-covered pretzel, but you know, matzo.)

Version 3:

Chocolate-Covered Matzo á la Kinfolk magazine*

makes three matzos

5 oz. dark chocolate, chopped

Matzos

found flowers from a nearby meadow, gulch, or patch

dried leaves, sourced while on an impromptu picnic

rocks, locally-quarried

Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Using a small offset spatula, spread melted chocolate over matzo. Sprinkle with flowers, leaves, and rocks. Leave at room temperature until chocolate sets up.

Once it's set up, wrap it in a thrifted blanket and take it to your neighbor's as a gift. Say something like, "I made this for you. Please don't eat it." Or, "I tend to see beauty in the world where others may not." Or, "You've just been kinfolked."
