These were super easy to make and a nice change for the equally easy matzo bark.

Passover Rocky Road

This chewy, crunchy, sweet, and slightly salty chocolate treat takes only 10 minutes of prep and 10 minutes in the fridge. You can make individual clusters or one large sheet to cut up. —Alice Medrich

Ingredients

10 regular-size marshmallows (70 grams)
2 sheets matzo (I use the extra-thin and crispy kind), broken into bite-sized pieces
Generous 1/2 cup walnut pieces (55 grams)
8 ounces milk or dark chocolate (up to about 64% cacao), coarsely chopped (225 grams)
1/8 teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon

Directions

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.

Cut each marshmallow in 6 pieces and toss them in a bowl with the matzo pieces and walnuts.

Put the chocolate in a medium stainless bowl and set it directly in a wide skillet of almost simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from the water and let the chocolate cool, stirring thoroughly and frequently, until it is at 90° F. I melt chocolate in the microwave

Pour the matzo mixture over the chocolate and fold until the pieces are thoroughly coated -- there will be just enough chocolate. Use a spoon or your fingers to drop clusters on the parchment paper, or spread all of the mixture in a large layer.

Sprinkle very tiny pinches of salt (crushing the largest flakes) over the chocolate.

Refrigerate the pan for 10 to 15 minutes to set the chocolate. Serve at room temperature. Cut the sheet into squares or random pieces with a sharp knife, or break them apart with your hands.

Notes - could add more walnuts and matzo if you wanted a less chocolate heavy result

I cook and bake with matzo so I don't understand your question. Very Happy

Marzo is Hamotzi.

So by putting it in a cake or snack does it make the while thing hamotzi?

Or is it like matzo meal?

Again I cook with matzoh as I responded to her and so I don't understand why she continued to question it.

If she doesn't cook with matzo then she shouldn't make the recipe.

I honestly thought that it was some esoteric thing that was produced by the combination of ingredients. LOL

Why not?
Im asking about the brocho.

I cook with matzo meal but I would also put matzo in a recipe.

Just wondering if this makes a food hamotzi or not?
What does it depend on?

Hamotzi is a good question. It comes up with matzah lasagna. If you break the pieces up into smaller than a kezayis each it might not be a problem. CYLOR.
