Iced Gingerbread Squares

"There’s something about the taste of gingerbread that evokes the feeling of being in a warm, toasty kitchen on a cold, wintry day. Perhaps it’s the richness of the brown sugar that does it, or the inviting aromas of fall spices. Or maybe it’s the subtle kick of the ginger itself that lights up your senses. Whatever it is, it’s one heck of a flavor profile, and with Trader Joe’s Iced Gingerbread Squares, we’ve packed all that flavor and then some into six, craveable quadrilaterals. Our supplier—who happens to be a bit of an expert in the field of festive baked goods—crafts these sweet Squares with butter, brown sugar, and, of course, ground ginger, plus cinnamon, allspice, and a bit of lemon purée for extra zing. They’re super-soft-baked, delightfully chewy, and topped with confectioner’s icing and a sprinkle of sanding sugar for textural interest. Simply let your Iced Gingerbread Squares thaw at room temperature for about an hour (or, alternatively, in the fridge for 3-4 hours), and you’ve got dessert! You’ll find them in our freezers, for as long as we can keep them in stock."
