Allergy Free Pesach

What is it about Pesach that makes people with egg and nut allergies get nutty? Let’s start with the Seder. You’ve got charoses which is full of nuts, hard boiled eggs-well…full of egg, and the traditional meal filled with matzoh balls-eggs, kugels-more eggs, and cakes and chocolates-lots of eggs and nuts. And that’s just the first night of the holiday!

Nutfree Bark
13 (rectangles)pareve graham crackers (honey or cinnamon)

1/2 cup brown sugar
tiny pinch of salt
2  3oz bittersweet chocolate bars (like Elite) *can substitute for 1 bag of chocolate chips

Line a baking sheet/cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Place 12 graham cracker rectangles in a single layer. Fit them closely together in the pan without spaces.Melt margarine and brown sugar in a saucepan till bubbly. Add a scant pinch of salt.
Pour bubbly mixture all over graham crackers.Bake for 5 minutes at 375.Remove from oven.  Immediately, place bittersweet chocolate bars on top of hot graham crackers. Return to oven for 1 minute.
