This bar really has far more potential than the rating would suggest. The base is quite good and as cake mixes do, yields a tender cake like bar that was greatly enjoyed. My disappointment with the bar was that despite the three types of ginger, it failed to deliver on flavor. The dried ginger was missing and the fresh did not have the wow factor expected. I doubled the crystalized ginger and found that to actually be a pleasing level, offering the perfect peppery bite in the cookie. I think all of the ginger ingredients doubled would be just right. Thanks Sunflower.
