"Very simple and yummy - great on a cheese platter and with mulled wine, or even plain, good red wine. One of my holiday favourites!"

These are unusual, sophisticated, and delicious! I normally would make a scratch gingerbread dough, but pressed for time, I used a Betty Crocker Gingerbread Cake & Cookie Mix which helped me make these quickly. Thanks, stormylee! Made for PAC Fall 2009.
