Instructions.
-
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch square pan or line it with parchment paper (leave some overhang for easy cookie bar lifting!).
-
2
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
-
3
In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and rum. Add the egg, egg yolk, and maple syrup until combined.
-
4
Pour your wet ingredients into the dry mix, and stir until smooth and thick.
-
5
Spread the batter evenly into your pan. The batter will be thick.
-
6
Slightly heat up your Chocolate Spiced Rum Spread until it is a little runny. This will help you with the swirling pattern we are about to do.
-
7
Place teaspoon sized dots of the spiced rum chocolate spread in uniform rows on top of your batter.
-
8
Now here comes the fun part, with a toothpick or butter knife, swirl the chocolate spread into the batter. There’s no formula here, get as swirly as you would like.
-
9
Bake for 30-35 minutes. You’re looking for a toothpick with just a few moist crumbs. Get ready for your kitchen to smell like a holiday Hallmark movie.
