Almond Crackle Matzo Crunch
Sick of dry as cardboard Passover sponge cakes, questionably flavored tinned macaroons, or sickly-sweet jelly rings? While I love my Bubbe… when it comes to her matzo meal Bundt cake, it is time to rethink our post-Seder treats! Inspired by the Matzo “Crack” of my childhood and my love for nutty Florentine cookies, this recipe is for you!
This candy-like treat requires no special equipment or candy thermometers, just a sheet pan and the will to not eat it all in one sitting.
