I second Becca’s suggestion- we tried it last year and it was deeeeelicious. We like to use Nutella in our hamentashen. I’m part Italian ;-)

I also like to add a little rose water to the dough and fill the hamentashen with ground pistachios and raisins.

What about that poppy-almond extract combo? When it’s done right, it’s the best
