Mixed Up Matzo Crunch

April 1, 2018 By Betsy Cohen

Mixed Up Matzo Crunch is highly addictive. Best of all is that it is the perfect Passover treat that is topped just the way you want it!

Mixed Up Matzo Crunch


I have a problem. Actually, I have a HUGE problem. I made a batch of Mixed Up Matzo Crunch and nearly ate the entire panful before I got a chance to take pictures.

This leads me to believe that Mixed Up Matzo Crunch will be highly addictive during Passover and for quite some time after the holiday.Mixed Up Matzo Crunch is highly addictive. Best of all is that it is the perfect Passover treat that is topped just the way you want it!

What makes it mixed up? I started with the matzo crunch recipe but instead of one topping on it, I mixed it up and added three! One third of Mixed Up Matzo Crunch was topped with roasted and salted nuts, one third with the nuts and chopped dried cranberries and the final third with M&M’s and sea salt.

There is no need to salt the sections of Mixed Up Matzo Crunch that include the nuts as they are already salty enough. The candy pieces needed a pop of salt to bring out the best flavor possible.

Feel free to mix them all together but I think whatever combination you go with of Mixed Up Matzo Crunch, it will disappear quickly.
