Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line baking sheets with aluminum foil; pinch edges into a lip to contain drips. Grease foil well with butter.
  2. 2 Place matzos onto the prepared baking sheets, breaking in half if needed.
  3. 3 Melt 1 cup butter with brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Ladle hot brown sugar mixture over matzos, spreading mixture with a rubber spatula to cover.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until sugar mixture is bubbling and thick, about 20 minutes. Cool until toffee coating is firm, about 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Place semisweet chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low until just melted (do not let the chocolate overheat or scorch). Spread melted chocolate over toffee-coated matzos; sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
  6. 6 Place baking sheets in the refrigerator until coated matzos are cold, about 30 minutes. Break matzos into pieces. Store in an airtight container or resealable plastic bags in the refrigerator or freezer.

Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  2. 2 Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  3. 3 Beat eggs in a large bowl. Beat in half of the melted butter, then stir in half of the brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir in the noodles, making sure the noodles are evenly coated. Spread the remaining butter on the bottom of a deep baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar in the baking dish, patting the sugar up the sides. Spread pecans over the brown sugar. Pour noodle mixture over the sugar.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Run a paring knife between the kugel and the edge of the baking dish. Hold the pan on its side and gently tap the sides of the pan against the counter to loosen it. Cover the baking dish with a large platter and invert it to tip the kugel out of the baking dish and onto the plate.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. 2 Beat the vegetable oil and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the sugar mixture before adding the next.

  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Cut each loaf into 3/4 inch slices. Place slices cut side up, back on the baking sheet. Increase oven heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and return mandlebrodt to the oven. Toast until edges become golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
