Matzoh Cracker Fudge

This Passover dessert recipe has pretty much everything going for it: it's easy, delicious, good-looking, easily portable, made with regular pantry ingredients, and has infinite variations to suit your particular tastes.

After spreading out the chocolate, you can top your fudge with all kinds of things like toasted almonds, shredded coconut, cinnamon sprinkles, mini M&M's or sea salt. You can even swap some of the chocolate chips for peanut butter or white chocolate chips. (It is still plenty delicious, even without any toppings.)

Once it's been chilled and broken into pieces, it can easily be carried as a gift for a family hosting a Seder or to work or school for a snack. And if it's not Passover, you can swap the matzoh for saltine crackers.

Please let us know if you have any favorite variations!
