Passover is a Jewish holiday celebrated in the spring that commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. The holiday is typically celebrated with family gatherings and traditional foods, many of which have historical significance. This Amazing Passover Chocolate Toffee Matzo with Pecans is a modern twist on the traditional matzo, which is an unleavened bread that is eaten during Passover. The sweet toffee, rich chocolate, and crunchy pecans make this dessert a standout at any Passover celebration.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line an 11x17 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	Arrange the matzos on the prepared baking sheet, breaking them into pieces if needed to fill in any gaps.
3.	In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 3 minutes.
4.	Pour the toffee mixture over the matzo, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
5.	Bake for 10 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly and golden brown.
6.	Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the matzo. Let sit for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then spread the chocolate with a spatula.
7.	Sprinkle chopped pecans over the melted chocolate. Allow to cool completely, then break into pieces.
