Instructions

• ▢
  Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and then cover foil with parchment paper. Place matzo on top of parchment, filling the baking sheet. Break extra pieces to fit any spaces.
• ▢
  Combine butter, brown sugar, and salt in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat.
• ▢
  Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil, then continue to stir for 3 minutes.
• ▢
  Remove mixture from heat and pour evenly over all the matzo crackers. Place baking sheet in the oven for 15 minutes and reduce heat to 350°F. Watch carefully. If caramel seems to be browning too quickly, lower heat to 325°F.
• ▢
  Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped chocolate. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow chocolate to melt, then gently spread over the caramel mixture.
• ▢
  If desired, sprinkle chopped pistachios over crackers.
• ▢
  Freeze for at least 30 minutes and then break into pieces before serving.
