This was my first time making biscotti so I was nervous about the double baking process and whether or not they would crisp up nicely while retaining a great flavor. They exceeded my expectations. People I know that don't even like sweets have started a ritual of having these with morning coffee. Thanks Bev...delicious recipe!

These are good. They do bake very nicely and are easy to cut, making them look professional, yet are so easy to do at home. I used whole wheat pastry flour which makes them kind of chewy, but the chocolate flvour really comes through. I used white and semi-sweet chocolate chips in the batter and drizzled melted white chocolate chips on top. I also added a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
