And I totally agree, it's beyond addicting. I should have put a warning on the recipe. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! And I totally agree, it’s beyond addicting.

Sounds like something I'd enjoy! Renanit, Thanks for the tip about the butter - it makes sense. You're essentially making caramel or toffee and margarine just won't create that stickiness with the sugar. I hope you enjoy it with the fleur de sel!

I tried one year with margarine and it was a greasy mess. We have already gone through our stock only 1/2 way through Passover and I am about to go home and make some more. I've never tried it with the fleur de sel but I am going to go do that right now. I make this every year and it is amazing but it must be made with butter or it’s just not the same!

It was a wonderful aliya l'regel. Because most people in Israel eat kitniyot (legumes) it was disheartening to look for a place to eat out. After looking at a few places with shwarma and chumus we just bought a package of cheese and some potato chips in a local makolet and settled down. I noticed a dairy resturant nearby and lo and behold they were making pizza. Kitniyot free with crusts made of potato starch with tomato sauce, cheese and mushrooms. The crusts were a bit spongy but other then that if you close your eyes it didn't taste like Pesach. No idea how they did it but food for thought. BTW I love the matzo crunch but this year I didn't make it because I couldn't bring myself to buy palm margarine and we only use our oven for meat. :( Today I went with my family to the old city in Jerusalem.
