Dipped in melted chocolate and rolled in crushed peppermint candy, this flavorful biscotti is a favorite. It's one of the many sweets I make for Christmas. —Paula Marchesi, Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania

"Christmas will never be the same" that is what my sister said after she had some of this biscotti. I made this last year for the first time and I made it again this year (this year I had to make a double batch and next year I will probably make more than that). This biscotti is so amazing I just can't put it into words! Now.... it does take a while to make that is the only downside but it is well worth it. Also, I can't find any crushed peppermint candies so some of my time is dedicated to crushing candy canes and that takes a good chunk of time. Make this recipe if you love biscotti, it is one of, if not THE best!

I made these for the first time last Christmas, and they were a huge hit. Everyone has been asking for them again this year. I have a double batch in the oven right now...they smell heavenly! I drizzle mine with white chocolate and then sprinkle with the crushed peppermint. Delish!

These are soooo good. They have a great peppermint taste, but not overpowering as some others have also said. I was a bit skeptical of this due to all the crushed peppermint and peppermint extract, but when I took a taste - it was SO GOOD! Great with peppermint mocha coffee. Very pretty for gifts too.

I made these two years ago for the first time for teacher gifts for my oldest son's teachers. I made them again last year for teacher gifts for both of my older boys. Two repeat teachers have asked for these again. They are easy to make and taste heavenly.

a comment left by Stacey: she mentioned she used white chocolate and mints - I really appreciate this tip as I'll add it to the recipe and try both versions this month

We made this recipe several times last year. It's on the top of our list to repeat this year.

Instead of the semi-sweet chocolate, I used a combination of melted white chocolate chips and melted Andes Peppermints...delish!

Made these on a whim and for my first ever biscotti attempt. Everyone loved 'em and called them "heavenly". A definite must for peppermint lovers! Even with all of the peppermint involved (extract and crushed candy canes) the flavor wasn't overbearing.

These are wonderful. I have made them twice this week. The second time I didn't drizzle chocolate on them and my family liked them even better.
