Here’s a little snack I put together the other day:
1 ginger biscuit or ginger snap
a shmear of almond butter
2 little squares of dark chocolate with ginger bits
- Shmear almond butter on cookie, top with chocolate. Eat with a glass of milk or tea.
- Optionally, toast (if you can wait that long), and spread the melted chocolate over the almond butter.
It’s like an open-faced s’more, but not quite. This little number combines the best features of the dessert genre—it’s richly chocolatey, creamy, nutty, and crunchy. Sweet, but not too sweet, with a sharp bite of ginger that awakens the palate. In a word, delightful. You could use regular chocolate, particularly if you don’t like your chocolate to wear sexy footwear.
