Delicious! Perfect for Christmas Day and that is exactly what I made it for. I was a little strapped for time and ended up making the "gingerbread" from a boxed mix but followed everything else as directed. I toasted some slivered almonds and walnut pieces. Everyone loved it. Great recipe, thank you!
