I will be away for the last two weeks in August. I did not want you to miss the extraordinary stories submitted. I can read, answer, and collect. Dixie, as always, you are the wind beneath all our wings.

Since writers need sustenance, I bring you a Cohen family favorite, Matza Bark. Fun to make with the kids, better to eat it yourself! Judy

I share an amazing dessert. It is easy and simple. You can make it plain or with many additions. I have also made it with white chocolate ( which is not chocolate) for those with a chocolate allergy. It will not disappoint. The recipe is from my family.

Ingredients

1. I use a 9 X 13 pan, lined with aluminum foil
2. 1–3 boards of plain matzo, break into pieces to fit
3. 1 cup brown sugar
4. 2 sticks of unsalted butter
5. 12 oz package of chocolate chips

Optional: nuts, M&M’s, little marshmallows, dried fruit cut small

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the matzo in a single layer to cover the foil. It is OK to break to fit.

2. Heat butter and brown sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir

3. Pour over matzo, covering completely, Bake for 10 minutes.

4. Carefully remove from oven, and sprinkle with chocolate chips. You can spread it out to cover the entire matzo. Add optional toppings. Let the chocolate set. You can put it in the refrigerator. When cool, break it into pieces. You can freeze it as well. Matzo is available in supermarkets and on Amazon throughout the year. This recipe has many names, but I favor this one.

I promise you, if you make this, you won’t regret it. It is a treat. Judy
