The month of March has just flown by!
I have been very busy filling your orders for sugar free and regular goodies, so THANK YOU!
Now, back to blogging and sharing my favorite, easy recipes with you 🙂
The Jewish holiday of Purim was last week, and it is always super fun! The kids dress up, lots of songs, and we get to eat the traditional treat, Hamantashen.
Have you ever had them? OMG! These triangle (symbolic to the story of Purim), cookies that are filled with so many different flavors…. so so so good! In my house, the chocolate chip dough filled with chocolate is a favorite (obviously), but you can make it with any flavor.
In the past, I have bought jars of different jams to change up the flavors, but this year I decided to make my own! NEVER buying jars again! A favorite for me and my customers was the chocolate peanut butter filled with chocolate drizzle. How you can that be bad, right?
These ‘cookies’ are so much fun to make with kids. They can use the circle cookie cutters, add filling, pinch the sides.. and they have a great time and love eating yummy treats that they have made.
There are a ton of recipes out there for Hamantashen, sweet and savory. I chose piggy back on this one, because it is simple, and delicious!
If you like all things chocolate, check out this yummy recipe!
Enjoy!
