I plan to make my famous chocolate toffee covered matzoh soon... I usually use a cookie sheet. Can I use the bar pan? What would you all suggest?

After reading it, I would say just skip the foil under the parchment paper. It should work the same as it would on a metal cookie sheet. I have never actually had this, but I bet it's awesome on a stone!!
 
I make microwave peanut brittle all the time and pour the hot brittle on a parchment lined bar pan. Comes out great every time. The concept is basically same - I agree with stephanie, skip the foil under the parchment. Let us know how it comes out.

And...thanks for sharing your "famous" :) recipe!!

thanks ladies! Lee Anee, you've posted the brittle recipe right (I just need to look it up)?
 
Hi Susan,

I have made that recipe with saltines. (not kosher that way, but darn delicious! and I love the combination of the salt with the sweet.) I think I will try it with Matzos next time... it sounds incredible!

I agree that parchment alone would probably work fine... because if any of the sugar stuck to the stone it would be easy to get it off with hot water and a scraper.

Let us know how you make out with it!

They taste similar, but the matzohs are sooooo much quicker to load! lol. I like it best with dark chocolate chips. I use a little more chocolate than is called for. VERY delicious!
 
I use butterscotch chips alone or with semi-sweet chips--awesome!

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely say that the Bar Pan would be a great choice for making your chocolate toffee covered matzoh. It's the perfect size and shape for this type of treat, and the non-stick surface will make clean up a breeze. Plus, the handles make it easy to transfer the pan in and out of the oven. I highly recommend giving it a try! And thank you for sharing your recipe - it sounds delicious! Happy cooking!
