Glazed Ginger Bars
I can’t think of the holidays without these luscious bars. The scent and flavor of ginger are just right for the season, and the light glaze adds the perfect amount of sweetness. —Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

The combination of the chewy bars and orange glaze is delicious. I didn't bother measuring the orange zest. Just used all the zest from one orange. These get better the next day too. Will be making this one again.
These were so nice and moist. Very easy to make and so yummy.
The bars were a bit of a disappointment to me, but my parents quite liked them. I hoped for more rich flavors, although the chewy texture was appealing. I'd cut the glaze in half next time in the hope that less sweetness wouldn't overpowered the ginger and molasses flavors.
