I posted this link as it does have recipes...I've used them previously many many times...gingerbread is my all time favorite...

Now, as for myself....I use only blackstrap molasses...not sorghum or anything else..strictly blackstrap...I promise you it does make a difference!

Good luck!

p.s. if you like you can checkout the different kinds of molasses!
