This particular post is going to veer away from what you might consider "healthy", but I believe a good homemade dessert is far better for you than a processed, pre-packaged dessert from the supermarket. Use organic ingredients to increase the nutritional factor.
With Passover quickly approaching, I thought I'd share my favorite Passover treat, Homemade Toffee-Chocolate Matzah from Martha Stewart's website. You can print it directly from her site, or get it here:
Makes 4 sheets.
4 sheets unsalted non-egg matzah
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 (12-oz.) package semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
Coarse sea salt
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place matzah in an even layer on baking sheet and set aside.
3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and immediately reduce temperature to low. Cook, stirring, adjusting heat as necessary, until sugar has completely dissolved and begins to bubble. Drizzle toffee over matzah and spread to cover using a spatula.
4. Transfer toffee-covered matzah to oven and bake until toffee has a rich, shiny sheen, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Tent matzah with aluminum foil and let stand 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Remove foil tent and spread melted chocolate over matzah to cover; sprinkle with sea salt. Transfer matzah to refrigerator and let chill at least 2 hours.
6. Break chilled matzah into pieces. Matzah will keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.

Yum, this recipe is just like "poor man's almond roca", which is highly addictive. I'll only make it to take places or else I'd eat the whole batch.
