Chocolate Gingerbread Mini Loaves

This recipe is super-rich, so it's a good thing I made mini loaves out of it. It's a Nigella recipe that I decided to make as part of the Food for Thought blog's December cooking club challenge. They taste more like brownies as opposed to gingerbread (which disappointed me a bit as I didn't want brownies), and really should be called chocolate ginger brownies. They still taste good, though too sweet for me. If I made them again I'd use only half the treacle the recipe calls for and definitely cut down on the sugars. I skipped the icing altogether because it seemed like overkill; it's already really moist and sweet. I got five mini loaves out of this recipe and will be giving all (but one) away to family and friends.

Here's a link to the recipe (with conversions).
