Very moist and easy to make; always a winner at the Christmas Cookie swaps!
Came out too dry, broke apart, and was more cake like. Won't make it again.
Good taste but way too dry!
AWESOME on my Christmas cookie tray! I used other reviewers' suggestions and added 1/4 cup oil (light olive) and 1/3 cup dark rum (I also reduced the melted butter to 3 tablespoons), then baked for only about 25 minutes. Since I planned to cut them into small (1"x1.5") bars, I used mini semisweet chips to facilitate even cuts. Used non-melting "confectioners" sugar to dust because they were so moist. This recipe will be a repeater! Oh, they freeze well, too (before dusting).
I substituted carob powder & chips, and Saigon cinnamon for the pumpkin pie spice (food allergies) and they were amazingly delicious!
I made these bars, during the holidays, and thought they had a nice balance of chocolate and ginger. I did think that they were slightly dry.
I'm usually a big fan of Martha Stewart recipes because they are kitchen tested. However this recipe did not meet my expectations. The flavors were great, but the bars were dry even though I undercooked them (27 minutes, turned once during baking). I think I might add gingerbread spices to a brownie recipe now, though, since the chocolate-gingerbread combination really tasted good!
4 TBS butter = 1/2 stick or 1/4 cup or 2 oz. The recipe is correct cnf123 but I certainly appreciate the other comments about adjusting the cooking time.
These were good, I'd give them 4 out of 5 stars. I added a cream cheese frosting and decorations for Christmas so I can use them in a cookie exchange. I stayed with the recipe and they weren't dry, but I watched my time and took them out at 25 minutes. Definitely a keeper!
oops. sorry, sent twice. silly how the comments are set up, so easy to do!
I haven't made these, yet, but noticed the reason some of you are saying they might be dry is that the butter should say 4oz not 4 Tbsp. 1/2 stick = 4oz. Going to try them today and leave out the choclate chips. Sounds yummy!

Wonderful - made these for a meeting and they disappeared! Highly recommended.
I made these bars several times and now they are a family favorite , I only reduce the cooking time few minutes and take them out when a knife comes out clean. 30 minutes baking is too much for them ...
These are good, but a little on the dry side.
So I tried again.... adding 1/4 cup of corn oil and 1/4 cup dark rum.
Million Dollar Recipe : )
These are super simple and so delicious! I added a pinch of salt because I find all baked goods taste better with a little bit of salt. They were a huge hit and have been told (not asked) to make them again : )
These are delicious and very moist. A great light dessert with coffee or espresso. Also great as a holiday gift.
These have to be the most moist and tasty bars I have ever tasted. My boyfriend and I nearly ate the whole batch. They were especially good still warm.
These are now one of my Christmas staples!
I doubled the recipe and baked for only 25 minutes in a 9 x 13 pan to make them fudgier. I didn't have chocolate chips and used raisins plumped in dark rum instead. They get really dense if you freeze them!
Absolutely yummy!!!
First, these are so simple to make that you don't even need a mixer. Also, if you don't have "pumpkin pie" spice, just use these common ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ginger (so this ups the ginger), and 1/8 teaspoon each of allspice and nutmeg.
They were gooey, moist, and ready to come out at 30 minutes by my baking. I would definitely NOT over bake these! They aren't exceptionally "gingery", but are uniquely spiced for the holidays.
Turned out nice and moist but the chocolate overshadowed the 1 teaspoon of ginger, I'll make it again but lave out the pumpkin-pie spice and increase the ginger.
I was dissapointed...unusual for a Martha recipe. They were too dry for my liking.
they turned out too dry for my liking.
I found this recipe so easy to follow and they were fabulous!
Delicious and easy! Made the house smell amazing!
