Chocolate covered matzo is a popular Passover dessert that combines two staples of the holiday: matzo and chocolate. Matzo, a thin, unleavened bread, symbolizes the haste with which the Jewish people left Egypt during the Exodus. This recipe takes traditional matzo to the next level by adding a layer of sweet, melty chocolate. The result is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for sharing with friends and family during Passover celebrations. Whether you are making it for the first time or are a seasoned pro, chocolate covered matzo is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

2.	Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3.	Arrange matzo boards in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4.	In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar, whisking to combine.
5.	Cook the butter and brown sugar mixture, whisking frequently, until the mixture begins to boil.
6.	Let the mixture boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
7.	Pour the hot butter and sugar mixture over the matzo boards, spreading it out evenly.
8.	Place the baking sheet with the matzo in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
9.	Remove the matzo from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot matzo.
10.	Let the chocolate chips sit for 5 minutes, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the matzo boards until they are evenly covered.
