Instructions: Squares: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, allspice, salt, baking soda and crystallized ginger.

In a separate bowl, stir together the molasses, eggs, brown sugar and butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, beating till smooth. Spread the batter in a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch pan.

Streusel Topping: Using a pastry blender, electric mixer or your fingers, mix together the flour, butter, salt and brown sugar till its fairly well-blended; some chunks of butter can remain. Mix in the crystallized ginger.

Bake the squares in a preheated 350F oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle on the streusel, and bake an additional 25 minutes, till the streusel is a deep, golden brown. Remove the squares from the oven, and run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen them. Allow them to cool, then cut into 1 1/2-inch squares.

Yield: About 54 squares

NOTES : We know youll love these squares that boast a thin, chewy gingerbread with crystallized ginger and streusel on top. They got an extremely high rating from both the crew of taste-testers in our customer service department, and the customers at our store. One woman commented that these were "the perfect, perfect holiday treat. And theyd be great with vanilla ice cream, too.
