Chocolate Matzoh

I don't want to hear your dire warnings about cholesterol, salmonella, calories or anything else on this matter.

For ONE WEEK, I just want to enjoy the memories of simpler times, when Yom Tov was filled with sweet and savory delicacies and nobody ruined it with health concerns.

As children we went to bed seder night with visions of waking in the morning to that first piece of chocolate matzoh of the year for breakfast.

Throughout the rest of Yom Tov, it was always good for a quick and filling snack and it was supremely "packable" for all outings.

I make at least half a dozen of these throughout Pesach for family and anybody else who drops in.  

                             Chocolate Matzoh

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method

--------  ------------  --------------------------------

  1              stick  margarine

     3/4           cup  cocoa

  1 1/2           cups  sugar

  3        extra large  eggs -- (or 4 large)

  7                     matzohs -- (7-8)

Melt margarine.  Add cocoa.  Alternate egg and sugar. Chill several hours or overnight.   When mixture is chilled and thickened, spread on matzoh and continue layering.  Be careful to orient all matzos in the same direction.  End with matzoh (7-8 matzohs high).  Wrap in foil and refrigerate 24-48 hours before serving.  If chocolate matzo is needed sooner, sprinkle matzos w/ a bit of wine before spreading with chocolate.
