This year the chain offers Hamantashs made of crispy dough, and does not forget the vegans either. You can find fillings of chocolate, poppy, dates and nuts, nuts in caramel toffee, and next to them the Hamantashs are coated with a combination of bianco nochola chocolate and hazelnuts. Vegans have a vegan Hamantash combined with banana, lotus cream and caramel cookie crumble

We tasted and thought: there is nothing to expand on Roladin's classic version of Hamantashen. They are tasty, crunchy and compact in size with lots of goodness. The surprises for us are the Hamantashs covered in divine bianco chocolate with hazelnuts, and lotus banana marzipan (vegan), which you simply cannot stop eating. For those who don't have enough, there is also the Hamantash in the exaggerated version - brownies nochola bianco in XL size, which is like a meal in itself.

bread bakery

A bread bakery offers a holiday edition with sweet and salty haman ears, portion deliveries and a cool kit for home baking of haman ears.

We tasted and thought: like every year Uri Sheft excites us with the butter dough and crunchy almonds, which is a perfect base for the delicate fillings. Also this year you can see the cult fillings in the "breads": Napoleon's hat (marzipan), poppy seeds, brownies and dates with nuts. Alongside them there are also salted Hamantashs with potatoes with fried onions or caramelized sweet potatoes, feta cheese and walnuts, which you simply cannot stop eating.

Biscotti's confectionery

Biscotti's Hamantashs collection includes a variety of new fillings and cheerful colors this year. Next to it you can find "Galette de Rois" - a classic French cake with two layers of puff pastry filled with frangipane cream and poppy seed cream.

We tasted and thought: the dough is nothing less than perfect, buttery, just melts in the mouth, light and fun. In terms of the fillings, this year we went for a cornflakes filling with milk, which has a refined taste but crackles in the mouth.

The classics - Belgian chocolate and citrus poppy - are excellent. We were very surprised by the marmalade and white chocolate which gave an interesting play of flavors.

Price: NIS 44 for a case of 300-280 grams
