I just served the last batch of these gingerbread bars of another tea I had…they are the BEST…so pretty…and so tasty. The recipe is a keeper for me.  Chewy, perfectly spiced Gingerbread Bars meet sweet, luscious Cream Cheese Frosting and it is a match meant to be! These are one of the best holiday bars and once you try them you’ll want to make them every Christmas season!  These bars are a nice meet in the middle kind of gingerbread. They aren’t overly spiced, more of a mellow yet still deliciously gingery bar. So kids and adults alike will love them. Sometimes when I make gingerbread with a lot of ginger or molasses it can be a little too strong for my kids but these are perfect. It still had enough ginger and molasses in them that I loved them and it wasn’t too much for my kids because they loved them just as much. Try these gingerbread bars soon, you just can’t go wrong with these during this time of year! Who could resist? They’ll be enjoyed down the the last little crumb....

Just made the gingerbread – best ever ever – better than any Grandmother, etc. and served my pears poached in red wine – oh what fun!  I wound up dividing my batch between two 8″ x 4″ loaf pans and baked for 35 minutes, which seems to be perfect. This recipe is very moist and a wonderful consistency. I wound up doing a light dusting of powdered sugar as well as drizzling the icing over the top…I felt like the gingerbread needed a little extra kick of sweetness. Great recipe!

Moist and flavorful this Gingerbread Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce has all the delicious flavors of your traditional gingerbread with a sweet and creamy glaze. If you’ve never made bread pudding before, do not fear. It is simpler than you probably imagine. Usually using day old bread is recommended but I never do that. What I do do though is toast my bread in the oven for about 10 minutes to make it just the slightest bit crispy which helps the liquid from the milk and eggs absorb and give it the custardy texture. If you’re looking for a great option for your next brunch or holiday gathering this Gingerbread Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce would make a great choice for something comforting yet different enough to stand out! Bread pudding is spiced with delicious gingerbread flavors and baked until golden and glazed with a delicious vanilla sauce Get the full recipe and instructions here >> Gingerbread Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce @ tornadoughalli.com

I have been making “Christmas Crack” for years. My family loves it and I’m not allowed to make it unless there’s a crowd coming over otherwise we will eat it all!  I have a few shortcuts I have mastered. One year I decided to see what would happen if I “cooked” the butter and sugar in the microwave with good success. I’ve been doing it that way ever since. It just requires a few minutes more baking in the oven. Also, I don’t pre-melt the chocolate any longer. I sprinkle a 12 ounce bag of semi sweet morsels on the top of the cooked crackers and leave them for a few minutes.  The heat from the crackers melts the chocolate and soon it’s easily spreadable. I then top it with chopped nuts; pecans, walnuts, almonds or a combination. I DO line the pan with foil and I cool the pan in the refrigerator or even the freezer and crack it when it is solid. The foil allows me to lift the entire pan of bark and break it more easily. Feel free to add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or coconut flakes o...
