    I made this for Passover and it is delicious and super easy. I cook a huge meal, and it's great to have a recipe that is fast and easy (and so delicious).

    This is a rip off of the old "white trash heath bar". The original recipe uses saltines, butter and regular sugar and semi sweet chocolate chips. Funny how some matzah and a grandma make it original.
