This quick and easy gluten free matzo bark, aka chocolate matzo or matzo crack, is a fun dessert to make for Passover. This is an easy project for the kids to make and decorate! All you need is three simple ingredients!

If you are looking for more Passover desserts, give my delicious Gluten Free Passover Apple Cake recipe a try.

Why This Matzo Bark Recipe Is Great:

  1. It is easy to make in just minutes.
  2. You can have fun decorating it any way you like!
  3. Making chocolate matzo is a great family tradition!
  4. It is very easy to make this recipe dairy-free!
  5. Gluten free matzo is pretty tasty!

Ingredient Notes:

  • Gluten free matzo - There are two companies that make gluten free matzo. Manischewitz and Yehuda. I have only found Yehuda in our local stores so that is the one I used. You can also make my homemade Gluten Free Matzo recipe!
  • Chocolate - The sky's the limit, use any chocolate or candy melting wafers to make this recipe. Ghirardelli makes really good chocolate melting wafers in vanilla, milk, and dark chocolate. (Note that Wilton and other melting wafers are made on shared equipment so you would need to find ones that are fully gluten free!) If you are dairy-free, use Enjoy Life brand.
  • Sprinkles - Use your favorite sprinkles. Check my gluten free sprinkles list to be sure the sprinkles you use are gluten free!

Recipe Step By Step Directions:

Step 1: Line a baking dish or tray with wax paper. Line the gluten free matzo up on the wax paper. You can use whole sheets of matzo or broken pieces of matzo.

HINT: The wax paper is important so the chocolate doesn't stick to a pan. This is the best way to ensure an easy clean up.

Step 2: Add the chocolate wafers or chips to a microwave-safe dish. Melt the chocolate in the microwave starting with 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate. Cook another 15 seconds and stir. The chocolate should be melted. If it isn't fully melted, microwave an additional 10 seconds. Be careful not to burn your chocolate by cooking it too long.

HINT: You can also melt the chocolate in a double broiler if you prefer to melt the chocolate stovetop.

Step 4: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the matzo pieces. Sprinkle on the sprinkles while the chocolate is still warm and soft. You can make the layer of chocolate as thick as you like!

You can also layer different chocolate flavors like white chocolate and dark chocolate!

Step 5: Place the tray of chocolate coated matzo in the refrigerator for 45 minutes. Break apart the matzo bark into pieces and enjoy!

Tips and Recipe FAQ:

How long will matzo bark keep fresh?

This matzo bark will keep fresh up to 4 days in an air-tight container or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

How do you store covered chocolate matzo?

I store my matzo bark in either a zipper bag or in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. The fridge keeps the chocolate from melting.

Can you freeze matzo bark?

You can easily freeze matzo bark. When the chocolate is hardened, place it in a freezer zip bag and squeeze out the extra air.
