Chocolate covered matzo

This is easy. Take 3 plain matzos and break them in half. Line a large baking sheet with wax paper and place the matzos on top. Melt 16 oz of chocolate chips in a double boiler, and use a heat safe spatula to generously smother each matzo in chocolate. Now comes the fun part. You can top the matzot with just about anything. Sprinkles are cute and easy. If you are feeling fancy, try chopped nuts and dried fruit drizzled in white chocolate. Other options include: shredded coconut, sesame seeds, sweet or savory spices, mini M&Ms, colored sugar, mini marshmallows. You get the idea. Place the decorated matzot in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. After the chocolate hardens, you can use a sharp knife to break the matzos in half.
A few tips. The toppings stick best when the chocolate is warm so I usually add the toppings to one piece before smothering the next one with chocolate. If need be, you can reheat the chocolate for subsequent pieces. Also, if you are using larger pieces of dried fruit, you can cut them up with kitchen shears.
