Easy No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Matzo Bark - featured image

A quick and indulgent no-bake holiday treat combining crunchy matzo, creamy peanut butter, and rich chocolate, perfect for festive gatherings or casual snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 sheets matzo, plain or whole wheat
  • 1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
  • 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Break the matzo sheets into large pieces roughly 4×6 inches each and arrange in a single layer without overlapping.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and softened butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and glossy (about 2 minutes total).
  3. In a separate small bowl, stir the peanut butter with honey (if using) and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread an even layer of peanut butter over each matzo piece.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading gently to cover all matzo pieces evenly.
  5. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate while it’s still warm.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the bark is firm and chocolate is fully hardened.
  7. Once set, break the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a knife. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Use gluten-free matzo or crackers for gluten-sensitive diets. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Melting chocolate slowly and stirring frequently prevents burning. Room temperature peanut butter spreads more easily. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes for best texture. Store in airtight container in fridge up to two weeks.
