Biscotti

go to a coffee shop, I love getting a little treat of biscotti , but I'm here to tell you it's so easy to make your own at home. All you have to do is take

my cutting board. You can just peel back that foil. Now, these biscotti are a little bit longer than I'm sure you're used to seeing in the coffee shops, but I think that makes them extra special. So I'm just gonna take a serrated knife, and cut them just, you know, across-wise, into some strips. Now, you can make them as thick or as thin you'd like. Making them a little bit thicker helps them to keep a little more sturdy, so I like to go about three-fourths inch, maybe an inch. Now, the trick to making these biscotti is the second baking time. So what you do is you actually take these little strips, and put them on a baking sheet. Now, you wanna set them cut side down, and then, you bake them at 325 degrees for another 20 minutes. Now, what that's gonna do is make them nice and crisp and get them a little bit dried out, `cause it has that texture that we all love with biscotti . So once you're done baking them the second time, you're gonna wanna cool them on a wire rack. Now, I've already got

I'll just use my spatula to help guide it on to my biscotti . And then, simply put, you know, you wanna get any of the excess chocolate off so that it's not dripping off your biscotti , and then put it on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. So give these biscotti to a friend for a gift or keep them at home for yourself for a perfect time-out treat during the busy holiday
