Gingerbread bagels

So remember last year when I went nutzo trying to find gingerbread bagels at Panera? To the point I had my dad in NJ go buy me some and freeze them to give to me? My dad rocks :) (Mom you rock too don't worry, plus she's the one to give the message to my dad to pick them up!).

Well I've been craving them something fierce so I attempted to make my own again... the good news, the texture was spot on! The bad news... they did not look or taste like Paner's gingerbread bagels... but you know what? It's all good... because the gingerbread bagels are back at Panera!!! Seriously go chow some!!! They are like crack with hazelnut cream cheese... yes please... bring them ON!!!

OK back to my bagels, my coworkers were surprised that the texture was so good considering they didn't look so hot LOL. Darn you gingerbread bagels... I will master you one of these days!
