I really love candy cane this time of the year so to make chocolate gingerbread men to hold them well that was me hooked I am sure children will love to help make these .. they are not decorated in this recipe as you will see although you could make some icing and I am sure children will love to decorate them too giving them faces and buttons etc
Great to eat on Christmas Eve with a hot chocolate I think
