The biscotti were no problem to make; really a lot of fun. But the drizzle was difficult. The chips never melted so that they were of a texture where they would drizzle over the biscotti. I had to add some milk to them and then it was too runny. Perhaps it was just a case of some kind of beginner's luck...

We are addicted to this - even my kids! I made these with dark chocolate cake mix, then added some chopped pecans and chopped white chips into the mix instead of any drizzle on top. SO yummo! We will be making this again soon~

I tweaked this recipe for a holiday cookie basket I gave my parents a few years ago. My dad cannot have nuts so I replaced the almond and vanilla extracts with peppermint extract and the nuts with crushed peppermints. Needless to say they were a hit and every Christmas I am required to make him his own personal batch of them.

I made these with triple chocolate fudge cake mix. My husband thought they were too chocolaty but everyone else loved them. Really, is there such a thing as too much chocolate? A keeper for sure & has made me a new fan of biscotti.

I made this for Christmas gifts this year and it was so very easy and incredibly yummy. My next batch I will try using the new sugar-free chocolate cake mix and chocolate syrup to help reduce the calories, otherwise, it's perfect just like it is. Addicting, too! :-)

I have found that all biscotti is crumbly if cut too soon before cooling. Also the larger the nuts the harder it is to cut.
