I make several varities of biscotti, but this is my favorite. People who dont even particularly like bicotti try it and rave about it. It is very unique and so, so delicious!! I am making it for food gifts this Christmas and I know no one will be disappointed

Since I do enjoy making & devouring biscotti, this recipe was a real 'delight' to make, & we thoroughly appreciated the flavor combo of these nuts & the apricot! Thanks, Annacia, for a great recipe keeper! [Made & reviewed for the PRMR Holiday Special player who had the most recipes chosen by others!]
