One of the most classic and old school recipe would be this easy dessertsGingerbread Bears. I know many of my friends think that this is a perfect recipe but in my honest I think otherwise. For some reason I think there is just something missing. If you have had this recipe in a different format or with something extra please do share with us what that extra ingredient was and how was it employed in the recipe.
