I already have a ginger/ nut Biscotti recipe here on Zaar but this one is much better - trust me. I got this recipe from "Nutters" they were giving away samples and this is wonderful. Store them in an airtight container in a cool place - or freeze

The taste is super. I doubled the candied ginger and next time, I'm going to use slivered almonds instead of chopping them (this sould make step 10 easier!)
