Matzo, or unleavened bread, is a staple at Passover seders large and small. An important symbol from the story of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt during biblical times, this cracker-like flatbread is commonly used to make savory classics like matzo-ball soup.

Be sure to stock up on two or three extra boxes of matzo while you're at the grocery store — something tells us you’ll want to make these snacks year-round.
