Wow, these are so delicious! I love mint and chocolate together, and this recipe does not disappoint! I did bittersweet chocolate across the bottoms of my biscotti, then sprinkled crushed candy canes over the chocolate while it was still melty. I also used half chocolate chips, half peppermint chips inside the cookies. Absolute mint/chocolate heaven! Thank you for this recipe!

I have been meaning to rate these...I have made these biscottis numerous times and the are AWESOME! Lower in fat, crunchy and goes great with a tall glass of milk. Also, I usually do not drizzle the biscottis and they taste just as good without it...but of course it is a treat with the drizzle! Glaucia this is a winner and I wish I could give more stars! Thanks for sharing!!
