MARION’S GINGERBREAD IS AN ABSOLUTE GO-TO DESSERT for our family. With dark molasses, black pepper and Chinese five-spice powder, it is a big-flavored gingerbread with plenty of spicy bite. So imagine our delight when she recently devised a simple, delicious upgrade: chocolate.
Besides being an absolute hit with everyone who has it, the original chocolate-free gingerbread, pictured above, is wonderfully easy to make—which when we need a dessert for us at home or to take somewhere to share with others makes it a hit with us. And adding chocolate doesn’t make it any more complicated.
You just stir some semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter and sprinkle some more on top before baking it. With or without chocolate, this is some serious gingerbread. Try it both ways and you’ll see what we mean. You’ll find all the details in our original gingerbread recipe here.
