Notes
When baking the matzoh in the oven with the butter and brown sugar sauce, make sure to keep checking on it to make sure the matzoh doesn’t burn. My first batch burned a bit. The sauce will start to bubble very quickly which is totally fine. If the matzoh starts burning, simply lower the oven temperature.
After adding the chocolate chips, make sure to let them sit on top matzoh for at least 5 minutes while it cools before spreading it over top the butter mixture.
Store immediately in an air tight container.
Let cool completely. Then, break the matzoh into many pieces and store pieces in an airtight container.
