Chocolate Hamantaschen Return to Zaro’s
One of my very first Zaro’s memories is having Chocolate Hamantaschen for breakfast after training into the city from Connecticut to decide if I wanted to attend NYU. I can’t say that the hamantaschen were so good that they tipped the scales, but they certainly didn’t hurt. Sadly, for the past couple of years I’ve had a hard time finding Zaro’s chocolate hamantaschen, but this year they are back!
Now I’m but a gentile, so I can’t compare these hamantaschen to years worth of the authentic Bubbe-made variety, but as a hamantaschen loving shiksa, I can say that the chocolate ones at Zaro’s are darn tasty. The cookie part is like a light, slightly lemony shortbread and the chocolate filling has a similarly shortbready texture, but at least it’s nice and chocolately.
My brother picked me up one on his way into the city on Friday and said that while they have the hamantaschen on hand, the hardest part might be getting the staff to give you the right thing. When he asked for one, the lady handed him a biscotti–so don’t be afraid to specify the “triangle cookies.” Purim technically ended last night at sundown, but there’s a good chance that there will still be cookies available today.

They are most likely made with magarine which means tons of trans fat.
I have to come up with a nice way of declining the Jewish desserts from my mother in law without hurting her feeling. Passover is coming soon.-
does your husband teach you nothing about Judaism?
butter can be kosher, fyi.

But most of them make them with magarine because they want to eat them after a big dinner with meat. The funniest part is my MIL doesn’t eat dessert at all because she is very very very conscious about her figure.

mkim1206: “very conscious about her figure”. Haven’t heard someone use the term “figure” in a while. Thanks for the chuckle. Very Estelle Costanza (though technicaly Italian, the Costanzas always reminded me of an old Jewish couple).
shiksas are hot….
