This year for Thanksgiving I was in charge of potatoes and dessert…or so I thought. I brought my loaded mashed potatoes, chocolate peppermint cheesecake bars, and gingerbread jumble bars. Well my mother brought brownies and chocolate chip cookies and my sister brought 3 store-bought pies! That is way too many desserts for 7 adults to consume in 6 hours. Needless to say, there were more desserts leftover than there was turkey.
I chose to create these Gingerbread Jumble Bars because I know my boys like gingerbread, and I usually don’t. Now that they are grown and out of the house, I find myself baking what they would like more than what I would like (I do have a clandestine relationship with the chocolate peppermint cheesecake bars, so its not all about them). I kept this recipe basic, only adding chocolate chips and M&Ms to the batter since we aren’t big on nuts in our family.
The ingredients are all basic and the recipe is simple.
- Gingerbread Cake Mix
- Dark Brown Sugar 1/4 cup
- Butter 1/2 cup softened
- Eggs 2
- Milk 3 tablespoons
- White Chocolate Chips 1 cup
- M&Ms 1 cup
In a large bowl combine the cake mix, brown sugar, butter, eggs, and milk with a wooden spoon.
Fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.
Spread the batter into a greased 9 x 13″ pan.
Place pan into 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes-until just set.
Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
