Kid Culture Vacation Project Idea: Chocolate Matzah

Chocolate matzah is a family favorite in our house during Passover, and it’s easy enough to make together.  It’s something I plan to do this week while the children are home from school and I thought I’d share the recipe.

Ingredients:
Egg Matzah
Semi-sweet Baker’s Chocolate
Wilton Candy decorator pens (from Michael’s)
Tools:
-Double boiler
-Various spatulas
-Small glass bowls
-Wax paper


Recipe:
-Put decorator pens in bowl and cover with hot water to soften them.
-Melt chocolate in double boiler — watch carefully and remove as soon as it’s soft.
-Cover table with wax paper; place tools on table.
-Put melted chocolate in small glass bowls.
-Put melted pens on table — remember to remove top nib.
-Children should use spatula to quickly spread chocolate on one side of matzah.
-Then they can use Wilton pens to decorate the matzah with their names, guest names, and other designs.
-Let chocolate dry on wax paper for at least a 1/2 hour before eating or wrapping up as presents.
Hint:  Have children spread chocolate on as many matzot as possible before the chocolate hardens. They can always decorate later.
If you have any other interesting vacation, or Passover, projects to share, please comment here, I’d love to a bag of tricks so they don’t get bored.
