To make these Chocolate Dipped Gingerbread Sticks, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
This recipe makes about 24 Chocolate Dipped Gingerbread Sticks.
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Mix well.
Add the softened butter, molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle that is about 1/4 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into thin sticks, about 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long.
Place the sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
While the sticks are baking, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
Once the sticks are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes. Then, dip each stick into the melted chocolate, coating about half of the stick. Place the sticks back on the parchment paper to let the chocolate harden.
These Chocolate Dipped Gingerbread Sticks are the perfect combination of spicy and sweet. The warm, comforting flavors of gingerbread are complemented perfectly by the rich, creamy chocolate. Serve them at your next holiday gathering and watch them disappear!
