[...] But what I’m most interested in are the crumbs when you cut into it. That is the best ice-cream topping right there. You’ll wish it were Passover all year round! —Kerrin Rousset, blogger at My [...]

I tried this and sprinlked toffee bits on top of the melted chocolate. Delicious! Thanks for this delicious recipe.

Matzo reminds me of something we eat in Sardinia, called pane carasau. It’s also paper-thin and crunchy, and we use it in all kinds of different ways. But I surely never thought of using it for a Sundae! Great post.

Katy, that is so funny — your friend’s Cracka Candy ! It must be delicious – Saltines are so light and crispy and salty too — all very addicting when matched with caramel! Mmmmm!

I made chocolate matzah buttercrunch from this post recently for a dinner party (for mostly non-Jews) and it was a BIG hit! Everyone loved it and kept eating more, including me. I will definitely use this recipe again. Thanks for sharing!

Aprille, I can not imagine your very first Passover seder – that alone would be overwhelming. Nevertheless being the cook of it! Oh, and for FORTY guests!! Wow! Talk about a delicious feat! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story. What a wonderful experience you (and that family) had, one that will stay with you all forever I am sure. Thanks for the link too, love the matzoh balls on steroids, ha ha!

Julia, great idea… an Afikoman reminder. Why didn’t anyone think of that before?! Love it! Sadly, I didn’t have a chance to make those macaroons, but you can bet I will be soon. Doesn’t have to be Passover for that scrumptious recipe!

Tammie, no worries on the moniker. Of course I know who it is! Thanks for the belated Passover wishes. Glad this one stopped you in your tracks. And now I know that the following post did even more!!

the chocolate matzah buttercrunch does get my attention, but the fried matzah with eggs (matzah brei) always stops me in my tracks. Yikes! Happy Belated Passover. Can I say happy Shvi’i shel Pesach? P.S. I changed my moniker, I’m going through an identity crisis right now. Hope you know who this is.

Kerrin, I didn’t know Afikoman means dessert. Well, there you go! I’m sure the missing Afikoman saga happens to a lot of people, too. (Oh, and Steve, glad I could be of help!!) I think there should be an official “Afikoman reminder” as part of Passover. You know, like on the last day at sunset you must *search and recover any outstanding Afikoman*?

BTW, I hope you made the macaroons.

Kerrin – I definitely learned a lot about Jewish culture working for him but I really got off pretty easy in the cooking department for the most part as he is the Rabbi of a Jewish Reform temple. His daughter kept Kosher so that was challenging sometimes. I cooked Passover for 4o people one year! (my 1st passover!) My biggest challenge was actually expanding their culinary horizons so to speak. When I came they had the exact same sort of boring meal every sabbath. When I left I had them shopping for fresh produce they had never heard of and making things they never thought they would try. In exchange I took back a greater knowledge and appreciation for wine and an expanded world view. It was a great 4 years and I love that family. http://musingsofthemuddled.blogspot.com/2008/12/mmmm-jew-food.html
