Do you like molasses? Of course you do. And if you’re from these here parts, you’re probably very familiar with Crosby’s Molasses. I have some in my cupboard right now! I grew up on Crosby’s molasses – we ate it on brown bread, jammed it into gingersnaps, and made Rosie Beaucoup’s famous gingerbread with it. We use big jugs of it at baking school – I got some on my textbook this morning. Heck, Crosby’s molasses has been a major part of every ginger structure I’ve ever slapped together.
So, can you imagine how epically excited I was when Bridget (Marketing Manager for Crosby’s/movita superfan) got in touch to ask if I’d like Crosby’s to sweeten the Ginger 2012 prize pot? That’s right – Crosby’s is so crazy about gingerbread that they wanted to give the winner of Ginger 2012 some extra treats. Here’s the deal: the winner of Ginger 2012 will now receive an additional two books!
Gingerbread: Timeless Recipes for Cakes, Cookies, Desserts, Ice Cream, and Candy (Jennifer Lindner McGlinn)
and
Crosby’s Molasses Family Favourites Cookbook
ALSO, the runner up for this year’s competition will receive a copy of Crosby’s Molasses Family Favourites as well! That’s some sticky fun right there, people.
Now, you might wanna consider hitting up Crosby’s blog – Molasses and More. Bridget writes for it! Bridget and her crew are basically obsessed with molasses and gingerbread, and there are loads of recipes over there for you to try out. Also, I think you need to watch this video from Crosby’s entitled Grandma Fancy Handles a Dozen Men. It’s basically the story of my life.

Thanks, Bridget! And thanks, Crosby’s! I hope you’ll love this year’s entries as much as I do…
I received zero compensation for this post, peeps. Crosby’s and I are just ridiculously in love with gingerbread.
Do you guys not have a ratings agency in Canada that, you know, reviews films and says whether they should be labeled PG, PG-13 or R? Because this is the most erotic gingerbread baking video I’ve ever seen. Granted, I’ve only seen this one gingerbread movie, but I’m not sure that changes anything.
In other words, I am a total fan. Just to be clear.
Awwww.. I love this, we have Crosby’s here, of course, and it’s been in our kitchens since I was a little girl.. You’re getting me all nostalgic here! Grandma’s video was adorable!! xx
No. I don’t like molasses. I’m sorry.
But I love brown sugar! Figure that one out.
omg, big surprise.
emma doesn’t like something, alert the media. stop the presses.
what if it was slathered on a raw potato? hmmm?
yeah, sounds about right.
Gingerbread is one of my favorite flavors of the Christmas season!
wow! So sad I don’t have any time to make a gingerbread house before the deadline
My grade four teacher used to tell us all the time that we were “slower than molasses in January.” She was also a little mean. So I tend to have mixed feelings about molasses. On the one side, sticky goodness that makes most things amazing. On the other, mean teachers. It’s a tough one.
Yep. I love molasses. But I also loved the gingerbread cake recipe that used honey that you posted a while back. Yum. Can’t wait to see what everyone’s gingerbread masterpieces look like!
Dude you effing famous now. I knew I should have gotten your autograph before the big dogs starting knocking at your door.
Seriously, when you call a molasses company? you’re normal. when a MOLASSES COMPANY calls YOU, you’re BIG.
this just makes me more nervous to compete.
Am I a total perv or were there several innuendo’s. Oh wait… I think it was every time she winked and the bell chimed. But honestly, there were a few more drizzled inbetween too.
I’m going to make this, post it, tweet it, facebook it and get someone to contact me besides damn casino.net!
You have got an awesome package to give away. (wink & chime)
Cheers to you!

Mmmmmmmolasses! I love em’. It’s not winter baking without molasses in some cookies.
I love using molasses for my gingerbread baking during the holidays
