Every year at Passover, I can’t wait till we get to dessert, mostly because of Bonnie’s (Lon’s mom) Chocolate Chip Pecan Mandelbrot. If you haven’t had Mandelbrot, it’s a cross between biscotti and scones. I love it!
Bonnie’s made this recipe countless times and has tried many variations. You can use different nuts for nice alternatives but her secret is Parkay Margarine. She says all other butters and margarines won’t give you the same shape and texture. Thanks for the recipe Bonnie!
Chocolate Chip Pecan Mandelbrot
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ lb Parkay margarine
- 6 eggs
- 2 ¾ cups matzoh cake meal
- ¾ cup potato starch
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup pecans + a few extra to decorate
- 1 tsp. cinnamon mixed with 2 tsps. sugar
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 cookie sheets.
Cream sugar with margarine until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating after each addition. In a separate bowl, sift together cake meal, starch, and salt. Mix into creamed mixture. Finely chop the pecans and stir in with the chocolate chips. Mix well. Form into 2 loaves each about 2” wide. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, trim with nuts.
Place on greased cookie sheets and bake for 45 minutes. Remove and cool completely.
These look great!
I’m not familiar with Mandelbrot but these look terrific. We’re crazy about biscotti and my husband loves scones so I guess it’s a match made in heaven.

I make my grandmother’s recipe for mandelbrot every year for passover dinner, and I wish tradition would let me try this recipe! Looks so good!

I live in Marietta,Ga. and was wondering if you know any place that makes and sells mandelbroth. I have no resourses to make this and I seem not to be able to find a kosher bakery here. I even have check in Atlanta and even called a Synagoufh tring to find . Do you have any suggustions.
Hi Sheri, I did a quick search online and couldn’t find any mail-order places selling it. Looks like there’s an opening in the market. Sorry I can’t help. I don’t know where to find it in Georgia.
