Yeah, yeah, I know this is my second faux food posting in a row. In truth the more elaborate Easter post I had planned for today did not get done and these were quick and easy to make. Too much happening here now. But it’s all good.
I remembered the basket weave mold I used for my Thanksgiving cornucopia cupcakes and hauled it out and used white candy melts, some almond candy oil for flavoring and brown food coloring.
These are a fun Passover treat.
Faux Matzah Bark
You will need:
- 1 package white candy melts
- Non-stick spray
- Almond (or your choice of) candy oil flavoring
- Basket weave mold
- Brown food coloring
- Small paintbrush
- Water
- Small or paper hand towel for blotting
Directions:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cover the mold with non-stick-spray.
- In a double boiler or a microwave heat half the melts stirring to smooth.
- Add almond flavoring.
- Pour over the mold and spread with an off set spatula.
- When candy has hardened, gently separate it from the mold.
- Repeat steps above to get two “matzahs”.
- Trim the edges with a sharp knife.
- Fill a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of water.
- Dip the paintbrush in the water and then in the food coloring and brush onto the “matzah”.
- Blot with towel.
These were amazing spread with a little organic peanut butter. Mmmmm.

Oh LOL haha! Lora you're absolutely adorable! This would never have crossed my mind!! You're so creative! Looking forward to more Easter-associated recipes!! 🙂 Happy Easter!
haha very cool. I'd rather have this than matzoh bark any day though.
Very cool idea, I think this would be a big hit at any Seder table!
You totally had me fooled. When I saw the first photo, I thought to myself "What does Lora mean . . . "candy bark"? Those are just crackers . . . oh. . . . OHHHHH." You're so tricksie 🙂
Yum. I love candy bark. And almond! Every year around Passover, our grocery store rolls out an entire aisle of matzah. I don't know what people do if they want it the rest of the year. However, I do have a feeling that it may be a bit like the Peeps–whatever doesn't get sold goes back into storage and reappears none the worse for wear the next year!
Wow, that's a big basket weave mold and a great looking bark!
