10 Unique Hamantaschen for Purim! Boo yeah!
Who doesn’t like Purim hamantaschen? Fools, and diabetics perhaps. The soft, triangular cookie is traditionally stuffed with poppyseed, prune or jam, but there is certainly no need to stick with tradition. Not this year! I’ve got everything from Halva to Savory Caramelized Onion to even Hamantaschen Bagels to step up your game.
What is Purim? I’m glad you asked!  Esther, a sassy young Jew living in ancient Persia, saves all the Jews from the King’s evil adviser Haman’s devious plans of extermination. So we rejoice with tons of rowdy parties, costumes, booze, and hedonism. Some people call Purim is known as the Jewish Mardi Gras or Halloween. That may be a stretch, but if you need me I’ll be the one dressed as a Ninja Turtle pouring the Fireball.

It is not the diabetics such as myself, don’t LIKE hamentaschen – I am just not supposed to eat them. I adore, love, jones after, salivate, and long for them. And eating just one – never going to happen.
Aw you can always try sugar free?

Oh man!!!!!! Why did I never think of halva hamantashen?!?!?!? That sounds SO SO SO delicious! I usually like to make “peanut butter cup” hamantashen (chocolate & peanut butter). I’m on a diet this year though, so maybe I’ll just go ahead & make the poppy seed kind that my husband likes so much. 🙂
