Special Extra

For chocolate-drizzled biscotti, melt 1 oz. Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate as directed on package. Spoon into small plastic bag. Roll up bag to push chocolate into corner. Cut off small corner from bottom of bag. Twist top of bag and gently squeeze to drizzle chocolate back and forth over biscotti. Place biscotti in waxed paper-lined tray. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm.

Special Extra

For chocolate-dipped biscotti, melt 4 oz. Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate as directed on package. Dip each biscotti halfway into melted chocolate; let excess chocolate drip off. Place biscotti in waxed paper-lined tray. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm.

Very good and easy too make... unfortunately my husband and I never drink coffee so we can only eat it when we have hot chocolate... so they are currently being stored in the freezer!

I couldn't believe that I was able to make biscotti! The recipe was very easy with excellent results. I made them as part of a christmas gift, but I'm not sure they will make it to christmas, I may need to make another batch.
