All the Passover dishes are prepared, but the meal isn’t complete until the Chocolate Covered Caramel Matzo Crunch is made. These sweet treats are made with dark or semi-sweet chocolate and caramel and can be topped with a variety of toppings – toasted slivered almonds, chopped pistachios, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, toasted coconut, maldon sea salt, cranberries, orange peel and dried fruit. My favourite is maldon sea salt.
