Hamantaschen no longer only come in boring jam or poppy seed options. You can now find them in a huge range of colours and flavours. Doughs can be coloured or even flavoured with chocolate or fruity orange zest.
Fillings go way beyond the traditional - and mostly unloved - poppy seed mohn. Fill yours with fruit curd, a lump of your favourite chocolate or even a dollop of salted caramel.
Here are a few that might inspire you to a create some of your own:
For the very sweet-toothed:
Your dentist may not approve, but sugar lovers will adore these off the wall fillings – creamy cheesecake and crunchy candy canes - from Melinda Strauss's blog Kitchen Tested which give these hamantaschen the edge.
For the bored-with-hamantaschen:
