I myself am just not keen on matzah, in any form, but the brittle is probably the easiest way to help it go down. Yes — people are just obsessed with the stuff!

Everyone I know can't get enough of it. Totally simple, 1 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup pecans and about three pieces of matzo. Bring the butter and sugar to a boil, stir in the pecans, pour over the matzo and bake for about 8 minutes. There are some recipes online that all call for chocolate chips, which sounds good but somehow not quite as amazing as this "pure" variety. Hey, Riv,

I think the best way to get around this is to use ultra-fine sugar (or just process sugar in a food processor until very fine), then add a bit of potato starch to compensate.

One thing though - for the people who follow the no corn rule during Passover - those puddle cookies might not be allowed. Usually powdered sugar includes cornstarch. I might make a flourless chocolate cake - I've always been meaning to try it and now is the perfect time! Enjoy your passover! These recipes sound great, and definitely come at the right time.

(which we are doing again this year) they also work better as part of a platter with the above chocolate cookies without the chocolate. also made these -- http://chocolateandzucchini.com/archives/2007/12/coconut_macaroons.php (though maybe it was another recipe - i seem to remember a pot being involved. but i'm sure this is good too) i multiplied all three recipes, and had them around for most of the holiday - with family and friends stopping in, it was a nice combo. all are relatively easy - no mixer, one bowl, and three, easy, varied, cookies. now i'm trying to remember what i did with all the yolks...lemon curd? found them! not mine, david leibovitz –

If you figure it out, let us know! Chanie -- yes, the contrast with the babka is, er, stark. Would love to see your recipe for the toasted almond cookies -- those sound delish. Trish -- For the sliced pear chips, I've tried peeled and unpeeled. Both work. Enjoy!

I plan to make them for Pesach too. I wondered, do you peel the pears first when you make that? Rivka, I made your pears roasted with ginger & cocoa–yum! I plan to make them for Pesach too.
