Does anyone have a recipe for chocolate filling for hamantashen that does not involve melting chocolate in microwave or pot? I’m looking to just mix some ingredients together.

Use boxed brownie mix (leave out the eggs).

I’ve done it with chocolate chips in past but I want a softer consistsncy. I don’t have brownie mix in the house. Can I just mix cocoa sugar and vanilla? I’d imagine I need a few more ingredients to get a thicker mixture.

Why leave out the eggs?

Sorry OP, I don't want to hijack but I also wonder about the cake mix filling.
Is this a tried and true recipe? Any other specifics besides leave out eggs?
Thanks!

I do it with brownie mix. I only use a little and seal up the edges hard. The brownie mix expands. Does leaving out eggs help?

Anyway, it is so delicious that my family loves eating the non-- perfect ones.

For those recommending the cake mix I tried it last week based on posts here in Imamother and all those hamantashen bust open and lost their shape because the brownie cake rises and puts pressure on the hamantashen dough. At the same time I filled other hamantashen with raspberry and apricot fillings and those were perfect. So maybe we were supposed to leave the eggs out for that reason. Not sure. They taste great but look terrible

Use only a little - much less than a fruit filling. Keep the opening small. And sell the edges hard. Pinch tighter than usual.

If you want creamy, use milk chocolate instead of dark.

Buy some chocolate bars, and break them into the smaller bars. One piece per hamentashen should be just right.

I did all that and it still flopped. But my family is enjoying them regardless.

Failures often taste just as good as the pretty ones. Very Happy

Equal parts sugar and cocoa
Half that amount confectioners sugar
A little vanilla sugar
Add oil to make a paste, not too runny

I got this recipe from a professional baker
