Chocolate caramel covered must be shared matzo crackers

If you haven't made chocolate caramel covered matzo crackers aka matzo crack-for a Passover treat, then you must- but be sure to break these crackers into pieces and share, share and finally share these addictive treats without delay, setting aside a small stash for yourself, of course.

Ingredients and Recipe for Chocolate Caramel Covered Must Be Shared Matzo Crackers
Makes enough to share, plus small stash for yourself

4 sheets matzo crackers, plus a little extra from a 5th cracker to fill in the baking pan

2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Grey sea salt

1 & 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips

1 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil with parchment paper on top.

Place the matzo crackers on top of the parchment paper, using 4 whole matzo and pieces of a fifth one to fill in at the edge.

Place the butter cubes and the brown sugar in a heavy medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat, cook and stir mixture for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract with a pinch of grey sea salt. Pour over the matzo crackers, spreading the mixture to cover all the crackers evenly.

Place the baking sheet with covered matzo crackers into the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the mixture is bubbling all over.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place on a rack. Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot topping and spread the melting chocolate using a thin flexible spatula to cover.

Sprinkle top with grey sea salt to taste and the chopped toasted pecans.

Cool completely, remove the matzo crack from the pan in one piece and break into pieces.

Store in a large Tupperware, this will not last long.

springtime chamomile tea cake with strawberry icing

Good grief, Easter is in the rear view mirror and we are deep into this new year. And once again it's tea time at my house. This chamomile tea cake is a beautiful sweet addition to any tea ritual, especially my favorite, chamomile tea, which I rediscovered in my hotel room in Carmel earlier this fast moving year. I highly recommend a slice of chamomile tea cake with strawberry 🍓 icing with a cup of chamomile tea to just take a moment and slow this year down. Baking with tea is both creative and fun. Earlier this year I made Earl Gray sugar cookies which are made using the same method of infusing the butter with loose tea. For my tea cake I also rubbed the lemon zest into the sugar -another way to lend a pop of citrus to your baking. The strawberry icing is made using freeze dried strawberries, I pulverize them in my spice mill and then they are pressed through a fine sieve into the confectioner's sugar. In addition to using lemon zest rub...

artichoke, green olive and caper tapenade

artichoke, green olive and caper tapenade serves 6 We spent last weekend with friends at their country home. They made dinner at home one night so I brought a couple of appetizers to share. My tapenade is easy to make, just spoon the blended artichoke mix into a terrine then pack in an ice chest for a short road trip. I like to serve it spread on small crisp crackers but toasted sliced baguette works well too. Save a sprinkle of capers for the top of your tapenade before serving and enjoy. recipe for artichoke, green olive and caper tapenade serves 6 One 14 ounce jar of artichoke hearts packed in water, drained and cut into quarters 1/3 cup pitted green olives, I like Castelvetrano green olives 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons capers, plus extra for sprinkling on top 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 cloves garlic, minced Aleppo pepper to taste, I use a scant 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt to taste Place the artichokes, olives, olive oil, capers,...
