Is it me or does anyone else bite the head off of a gingerbread man first? Ok… just checking. I love the flavor of gingerbread anything and everything!
My preference is to use Blackstrap molasses over regular molasses. Blackstrap molasses is the dark, viscous molasses that remain after the extraction of sugar from raw sugar cane. It has the consistency of a thick syrup, as the third boiling of sugar syrup yields blackstrap molasses. Blackstrap molasses contains essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin B6, calcium, manganese, magnesium, potassium, iron and selenium. Molasses may help to relieve PMS symptoms, stabilize blood sugar levels, improve bone health, treat symptoms of ADHD and boost skin health. Research has shown that children with ADHD are also deficient in zinc, magnesium, calcium, and iron, which help to support brain function, and makes blackstrap molasses a great alternative to refined sugar.

A few hacks – Always remember, when working with chocolate (and yes, even vegan chocolate), you never want to get it wet, or heat it too long, or it will seize up. Be patient and gentle and you will be greatly rewarded. Also, the easiest way to crush up the ginger snaps is in a Nutribullet. Be sure to let the cream cheese come to room temperature and then add it in to mix everything all up. It couldn’t be easier!
