"These bars aren't at all like traditional, soft and fluffy ginger or molasses cake, or gingerbread decorating cookies. They're extremely dense, rich, moist, and fudge-like. Molasses fudge meets gingerbread brownie. They're made in own bowl, without needing a mixer, and the batter is whisked together in minutes. The thick molasses, the softening and tenderizing effects of the brown sugar, coupled with chocolate, and they're like eating a piece of molasses fudge with bold spices. I used 7 teaspoons of spices and they're very boldly spiced. If you're more sensitive to spices, you may wish to dial them back, possibly even halving them. The semi-sweet chocolate stands up beautifully to the boldness of the molasses and spices and is a wonderful pairing. I recommend allowing these bars to cool overnight, allowing the chocolate to really set and for the flavors to marry. They taste better in the few days after baking them...."
