What you need:
12 matzo crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
What you do with it all:
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil. Place the matzo crackers in a single layer on the lined baking sheets, breaking to fit, if necessary.
Bring the butter and brown sugar to a boil in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the matzo, and spread evenly with a heat proof spatula.
Place the caramel topped matzo in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Return pans to oven to melt chocolate, about 1 minute. Smooth melted chocolate to completely cover the caramel. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts. Chill in refrigerator for 20 minutes, or until set. Break into small pieces to serve.
After Dessert Comments: This is great! It makes a ton! It's very salty and sweet and is great if kept in the freezer.

Matzo Apple Kugel
What you need:
4 matzo crackers, crushed
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/3 cup applesauce
3 Granny Smith apples - cored, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
What you do with it all:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the crumbled matzos in a medium bowl, and add enough water to cover. Let stand for 2 minutes, then drain off excess water. Do not squeeze.
To the bowl of matzo, add eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, lemon juice and applesauce. Stir to combine. Mix in the apples and dried cranberries. Spread the mixture evenly into a 2 quart casserole dish. Mix together the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden, and the apples are soft.
After dessert comments: This was SO GOOD! This recipe should feed about 8, unless you like seconds, then it will feel about 4 or 5. I made it for Passover this last week. I highly recommend it.

2 cups white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cola-flavored carbonated beverage
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
6 tablespoons cola-flavored carbonated beverage
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
What you do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
Sift the flour, white sugar and baking soda together.
In a saucepan over medium heat bring 1 cup of the butter, 3 tablespoons of the cocoa, and 1 cup of the cola drink to a boil. Pour into the flour mixture and stir in the marshmallows, buttermilk and the beaten eggs. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove cake from oven and top with Coco-Cola Topping while cake is still warm.
To Make Coco-Cola Topping: In a saucepan bring 1/2 cup of the butter or margarine, 6 tablespoons of the cola drink and 3 tablespoons of the cocoa to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the confectioners' sugar, chopped nuts and vanilla. Spread topping over cake while still warm.
After dessert comments: This cake turned out REALLY well! I was "iffy" about it during the creation process, but it really turned out well. I ended up baking it for about 50 mintues just because i wanted to try and get it to firm up a bit and it was still a little bit gooey in the middle, but it still tasted great! And i put the frosting on the cake about 5 mintues after i pulled it out of the oven. Worked awesome! The frosting hardens and then cracks when you cut it, but if you don't care about presentation, you will love this cake! I will for sure make it again! Soon! (cause now i have lot's of coke and marshmallow's)
