Mix a 1/4 cup of port and a 1/2 cup of water in the spray bottle and spray one of the matzos on both sides making sure to cover all of it. Be sure to let it drip for a moment.

Put your first sprayed matzo into your dish and cover in chocolate. Make sure to get all of the edges covered. When you put it down look to see what direction the lines are going, so you can put them all the same way, this makes it easier to cut.

Repeat steps 6 and 7 for all the matzos. Note that you will feel like you don't have enough chocolate but it will work out. If you are on the last one and there really isn't enough then take some of the chocolate that has dripped on the sides.

Add as much sprinkles as you want. I would have put more but I ran out. This is optional.
