    Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti are Perfect for Dunking!

    Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti - twice baked crunchy chocolate Italian biscuits studded with dried cranberry for dipping in coffee, latte, cappuccino, etc.

    I love making Biscotti because they are almost impossible to mess up. You bake them until they are crunchy and then bake them again. And then you get a nice warm beverage of choice, dunk them in and devour ....

    Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti - twice baked crunchy chocolate Italian biscuits studded with dried cranberry for dipping in coffee, latte, cappuccino, etc.

     

    I made these Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti as part of our Crazy Ingredient Challenge. The CIC is a group of bloggers that choose two ingredients that might not normally be paired together and create a recipe with them. Then we all post on the same day and share our recipes. Be sure to scroll past the recipe to see what the others came up with this month.

    I admit I was a bit skeptical about the flavor of cranberry and cocoa together, but they worked together nicely. Personally I would add the cherry flavored cranberries or dried cherries next time, because I love cherries! But the cranberries were good.

    Before I got a chance to dip these in chocolate and 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!

        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.

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