Vegan Chocolate Marshmallow Matzah Bark for Passover
We all know that matzah isn’t a food known for its visual appeal- or even it’s taste! As a kid, I used to think of it as a piece of salty cardboard that would show up in my lunchbox for a week every year. In fact, most traditional Passover cuisine is just plain bad.
The one Passover food that I did look forward to as a kid was chocolate covered matzah. Who would ever think that chocolate smeared over unleavened bread could be so enticing! For Passover last year, I came up with my own elevated version, Vegan Chocolate & Salted Caramel Matzah Bark.
Today, I’m excited to share another matzah masterpiece that you need to try (even if you don’t celebrate Passover!), Vegan Chocolate Marshmallow Matzah Bark. It’s beyond simple to make, and it’s going to seriously WOW everyone at your seder! Or on your couch after your seder, or in your kid’s lunch boxes, or wherever you like your chocolate matzah.
The recipe is really, really easy, but there are few things to note about the ingredients. You can use any kind of matzah you like (there are SO many kinds available these days, which is really cool!) and my favorite is this spelt matzah. As you may know, spelt is my flour of choice because it’s lower in gluten than wheat, and even though it’s not gluten-free, many people (like myself) find it easier to digest. For the marshmallows, I used these vegan minis. Since traditional sprinkles contain some funky ingredients and aren’t always vegan, I’m always on the look out for cleaner-ingredient sprinkles. I found these super cute “starfetti” sprinkles at Whole Foods and combined them with my go-to organic sprinkles.
- 4 pieces of matzah
- 2 cups vegan chocolate chips, divided
- 1½ cups cup vegan mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup coconut butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the four pieces of matzah on it.
- In a double boiler (or a small saucepan on the stove at low heat), melt 1½ cup of the chocolate chips.
- Use a spoon or small spatula to spread the chocolate over the pieces of matzah.
- On two pieces of matzah, place the marshmallows over the chocolate. Flip the other two pieces of matzah and sandwich them on top of the two with marshmallows. Gently press down.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer so the chocolate can harden up (about 30 minutes).
- Once the chocolate is hardened, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Use your hands to break the matzah into pieces (about 9 per matzah sandwich).
- Melt the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chips and drizzle the chocolate over the matzah. Drizzle the coconut butter over everything, then add the sprinkles on top.
- Return the baking sheet to the freezer for another 10 minutes so the drizzles can harden. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
