Tahini-chocolate challah buns

This is what I've been saving my precious eggs for! And lo, it was worth it. This is a lightly adapted Smitten Kitchen recipe as one last hurrah before the chametz gets sealed away in the Quarantine Treif Dungeon (the freezer) next week.

Matzo Brittle

Now that I'm dug out of Snowmageddon and have power back, I'll be making a batch of this tomorrow. It's good eats for a snowy, grumpy time.

Whole and halved/squared matzoh to fit a small baking sheet (or jelly roll pan, something with sides)
1 cup butter, room temperature
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup chopped nuts of your choosing (walnuts, almonds, peanuts, cashews or pecans all work)

Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C/Gas Mark 4.

Butter the baking sheet or line with a silicone baking mat.

Cover the entire baking sheet with matzoh, leaving pieces whole as you can, breaking into halves, thirds, as needed (square/rectangular pieces) to fill in the space.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar is melted. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently for five minutes.

Pour the butter-sugar mixture over the matzoh. (Be very careful, it is really hot.) Sprinkle nuts evenly over the matzoh.

Bake at 350°F/175°C/Gas Mark 4 for 10 minutes.

Remove and let cool completely (1 hour) and break into pieces.
