    I love making Biscotti because they are almost impossible to mess up. You bake them in little loaves until they are crunchy, cut them and then bake them again.

    And then you get a nice warm beverage of choice, dunk them in and devour ....

    Before, I got a chance to dip these in chocolate to make them festive, I spied my husband taking a bite out of one. Or more accurately, I heard him take a bite out of one.

    In mock horror I asked if he knew they were supposed to be dunked. He did, but said they were good anyway.

    Which I guess means they are really good!

    If chocolate cranberry isn't your jam, try dried cherries, or give these Gingerbread Biscotti a try.

        I gave most of them away so I may need to make a second batch soon.

        Biscotti is good any time of year, so why do I consider it a Christmas treat too? ha ha.

      I love biscotti and this was something I was thinking of when we got the the word on what was the verdict of the vote.. I love chocolate and cranberries together.

        I was skeptical of the combo of chocolate and cranberries, but it definitely worked out well.

      Beautifully festive biscotti, Audrey! Great idea. And I could totally see these with dried cherries, too.
