30 OREO Cookies, divided
¼ cup butter, melted
2 tsp. ground ginger, divided
1 tsp. ground cinnamon, divided
1 cup half-and-half
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 pkg. (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup cranberries
6 sprigs fresh rosemary (2 inch)
¼ cup sugar

Directions

Crush 26 cookies into fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add butter, 1 tsp. ginger and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon; mix well. Press onto bottom and up side of 9-inch tart pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Microwave half-and-half in medium microwavable bowl on HIGH 2 min. Add chocolate; let stand 2 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Add remaining ginger and cinnamon; mix well. Cool 20 min.

Beat heavy whipping cream in medium bowl with mixer on high speed 1 min. or until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Spoon into crust.

Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.

Meanwhile, lightly moisten cranberries and rosemary with water; roll, in small batches, in sugar until each piece is evenly coated with sugar. Gently shake off excess sugar, then place on sheet of wax paper. Let stand until dry.
