hello and good morning.
I read over your recipe and was wondering if the ginger in your recipe is ground or fresh? Thank you.
Hi Maggie,
Great question, it’s ground ginger. Enjoy
Don’t Chocolate chips have sugar in them?
The chocolate chips that I use are 100% pure chocolate without any sugar added to it. So if you are not used to it, they will be bitter. They can be purchased from the Santa Barbara Chocolate Factory.
