Purim Gifts

The baking is done and the gifts have gone out.  Here are a few pictures.  Happy Purim!

 

 

Funfetti Hamantaschen

The other day I saw this post from Mommzy at A Jewish Homeschool Blog for Hamantaschen using a box of cake mix and I immediately pondered the contents of my pantry.  I wasn't sure if the Funfetti mix would work as well as the yellow cake mix described in the original recipe, but I really think the cookies came out great!  Besides, the kids think anything with sprinkles is just a little more special, and I agree with them!  I used up the remaining of my apricot and raspberry filling from the more traditional recipe I baked up the other day and even filled a few with chunks of white chocolate.
