Toffee Biscotti Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling

Yield: 30 Servings

30 45 75

Ingredients

3 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Dash salt
5 Heath candy bars (1.4 ounces each), chopped
1/2 cup pecan halves

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the eggs, oil, sugars and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture and mix well. Stir in candy and pecans (dough will be sticky).
Divide dough in half. With lightly floured hands, shape each half on a greased baking sheet into a 12-in. x 3-in. rectangle. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Carefully remove to wire racks; cool for 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-in. slices. Place cut side down on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Bake for 15 minutes or until firm. Turn and bake 5-7 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
