I made a few batches for Christmas this year and everyone absolutely loved this biscotti. One of my favorite biscotti recipes, for sure!

My whole family loved these. We drizzled them with melted peppermint kisses as well as chocolate drizzle & didnt add crushed candies to the outside. They disappeared so fast I only tasted one or two from each batch we've made. Definately a keeper & not just for the holidays.

WOW!!! These are FABULOUS! I just finished making them, I didnt put the chocolate drizzle on them yet, but I tasted one of the ends, and I almost fell over! They are excellent! Definately will be making all the time now! It was my first time making biscotti and it was very easy and they came out so great! Thanks Paula!

this one did awesome, but found if I kept my hands dusted with flour when shapening that it was easier to work the dough

A friend at church made these and they were so good that I asked for the recipe. I just made them last night and they turned out perfect on my first try! Can't wait to have them with my morning coffee.

I used 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp almond extract as my peppermint extract was dry. Added almonds instead of crushed peppermint candies to biscotti, but I did use peppermint candies on top. I still have half of the chocolate and I dipped the biscotti into it rather than drizzle it over. Enjoyed it very much

I have made this recipe several times. I would bake them a bit longer the second time around after turning. The chocolate chips could be cut in half and I too had a lot left over. They are really good.

I loved this recipe. It was my first time making biscotti, and was relatively easy. I used one full box of candy canes, crushed to almost a powder with a few small pieces. I think it came to about 3/4 cup or so. I would not use more next time. I also didn't put any on the outside. Also to note, my experience didn't produce 42 servings, and the 2 cups of choc. chips was way way too much chocolate. Good thing I was able to use the left overs for my next recipe, otherwise would have been a huge waste. I would say maybe a fourth or less.....

I made these last night and brought some into work today and have gotten rave reviews! I've given out the recipe 5 times already.

A few tips: I baked the biscotti for 30 minutes the first time and 12 the second. They were crunchy on the outside but still soft on the inside. Also, I used Hershey's Chocolate Peppermint Candy Canes to accent the chocolate/peppermint theme of this delicious recipe.

This recipe turned out great! However, I resorted to using a carpenter's hammer to crush the peppermints. But they really were a hit and yes, lots of fun to make. Thanks for sharing!

These were really yummy; I would liked to taste a bit less peppermint so if I make these again, I would either decrease the peppermint extract in the cookie or use less crushed candy canes on top or maybe even make a more buttery biscotti and just use the peppermints on top.

I have made this recipe a few times and everyone loves it. Just made it again for a Holiday Open House and folks wanted the recipe. I did not add the shortening to the choc. chips as the choc. hardens when cooled. I am making these again - soon- but this time I am going to put crushed red, white and green candy canes on top.

This was my first time making biscotti.

We loved them! Nice peppermint taste and easier than I thought they would be!

These directions were clear and easy to follow, and to top that, the biscotti were WONDERFUL! The weren't as tough as some others, and they were so tasty! Not overly pepperminty, just perfect for my taste.

Love these! They are pretty, tasty, and not too hard to make. I ran up to the local used-a-bit shop, bought some inexpensive spoons, dipped them in carmel, then melted chocolate. I found some small single pot sized bags of coffee. I tied up the spoons, the coffee, and these biscotti for a cute gift basket for my best girlfriends. They all loved it!

I tried this recipe today, and it is fantastic! It was easy to make and tastes great. I used mint candy with a lot of red in it; when baking it turned pink, which looks pretty.

Re: Peppermint Biscotti

Just made them to day for the first time and loved them, they baked up wonderful. I did make a change for us, left out the peppermint extract and candies. Made them with vanilla extract and drizzled the chocolate on top and sprinkled the candy on them. Very good will add to my Christmas baking list.

I loved them!!!! I'm making a double batch this year!!!! And I also successfully made them gluten free, by switching out the flour and adding xanthan gum. I didn't have a bit of trouble with them at all.

Although I am an experienced cook who bakes lots of good cookies, these were a disaster. The crushed candies melted and burned the bottom crust. The rectangles broke apart even though I carefully used 2 large spatulas to transfer them. I will go back to my tried and true biscotti recipe, using peppermint extract but omitting the candy from the dough and just sprinkling it on top of the chocolate drizzle.
