I’m experimenting with some snacks for Passover and decided to make these matzo farfel chocolate clusters. It’s an old recipe but instead of using the usual chopped almonds I substituted chopped dates to make these nut-free. Still delicious, now with a chewier texture because of the extra dried fruit. Here’s the recipe (use equivalent amount of chopped nuts for the dates of you prefer). The cayenne (optional) is a terrific surprise — not enough to make these spicy but enough to give it some pizzazz. MATZO FARFEL CLUSTERS 2 cups matzo farfel 12 ounces semisweet chocolate 1/2 cup chopped dates (or toasted almonds) 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/3 cup shredded coconut 2 teaspoons grated fresh orange peel pinch cayenne pepper, optional Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the matzo farfel on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, tossing the farfel around once. Remove the pan from the oven and let the farfel cool. Melt the chocolate. Add the farfel, dates, cranberries, coconut, orange peel and cayenne pepper, if used, to the chocolate and mix to distribute the ingredients evenly. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto parchment paper or aluminum foil. Let set.
