Sweet and spicy treat--like gingerbread mixed with s'mores--for dessert or breakfast. I've had this recipe since 1970 and don't know the source, but I think the muffins are delicious. I hope you enjoy them, too.

GINGER S'MORES

I've spent a few years now perfecting this recipe to get a soft, flavorful cookie while balancing the marshmallow and chocolate so they don't overpower the cookie. I think I finally got it! Recently I added orange zest-it really complements the other flavors. -Lynsay Benson, Minnetonka, Minnesota
