This is my adaptation of a recipe I found here for eggnog biscotti. I was making the biscotti and when it came time to pull it out of the oven and cut it one of the logs broke. So I cut around the break and put the rest back in the oven. While the biscotti finished in the oven I started munching on the broken bits. I thought it would taste great as a bar. So, I added some chocolate chips, dipped, and drizzled it with more chocolate...you can never have too much... and ended up with my Eggnog Blondies!!

I really think you are on to something with this recipe. I would have liked them baked a little longer for a more biscotti texture, as I found myself being drawn to the crusty edge pieces. The chocolate really kicks these up a notch. Thanks for sharing.
