Lily Vanilli: Spicy Gingerbread

December. The month when every day should involve a hot chocolate accompanied by something sweet and full of spices.

For the next week in this household, the hot chocolate accompaniment will come in the form of Lily Vanilli's spicy gingerbread.

Packed full of fresh chilli, ginger, ground nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, pepper and several other spice cupboard treasures, these golden little nuggets aren't for the faint hearted.

Piled up in a pretty box for Christmas gifts or iced to add a little more festive fun, baking these along to She & Him's Christmas tunes made for a splendid Saturday afternoon.
