Biscotti always grabs my attention, & this recipe was no different ~ I had to make it! Wanted so badly to add more things to it, but didn't because I ALSO wanted to know that it would be like, as is! I was pleased with the combo of tastes from the oats & cornmeal as well as the walnuts ~ A NICE BISCOTTI! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted orphan chefs at the end of this Spring's Pick-A-Chef]
