I tried a new Ginger crunch recipe from Google. Followed the instructions carefully but the icing turned out so sweet that we just cant eat it. I have tried to scrape the icing off but its really stuck on. Am tempted to throw it all out, such a waste. Any idea on what I can do with this please - maybe turn it into cookies or something?

Could you smash it all up in a plastic bag with a rolling pin ? If so, you might be able to turn it into one of those lovely uncooked fudge slices ? You could add chopped glace ginger to give it more of a ginger hit and cut the sweetness a bit ? I did this once with a failed batch of biscuits, and my hubby said it was the best fudge slice ever ! :-)

Just another thought ... you could smash it and use it as a sprinkle for ice cream, or as part of a crumble topping for pears ? Ginger is gorgeous with pears, just cut the sugar right down in your usual crumble topping :-)

Can you reheat the slice to soften the icing and then scrape it off. You can then re ice it with your normal ginger crunch icing.

Perhaps crumble it and press it into a tin as a base for an uncooked cheesecake - topping could be yoghurt set with a little gelatine.
