  4. Bring to a boil: One cup butter, one cup brown sugar packed and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly
  5. Pour over matzoh and spread evenly
  6. Put in oven, change temperature to 350, leave in for 15 minutes, keep eye on it so it doesn't burn
  7. Take out of oven and pour one bag of chocolate chips over the matzohs (half bag for each cookie sheet)
  8. Let sit for a minute then spread (the chips will become melty because of the heat from the toffee mixture)
  9. Top with whatever... ("Some people do nuts, I don't usually put anything 'cause I don't like nuts," explains Caryn. "But for X-mas I top with crushed candy canes.")
  10. Put pans in freezer for about two - three hours until hardened
  11. Take out and break apart and serve... YUM
