Cocoa powder and mini chocolate candies along with honey roasted almond slices come together in this Triple Chocolate Almond Biscotti recipe. Whether drizzled with chocolate or dipped , these are a delicious way to celebrate National Chocolate with Almonds day!
I also love biscotti. I love eating it and I love sharing it! Biscotti is a great cookie to make as a gift and give to a friend who loves coffee of tea along with a coffee/tea lover’s package! I’m well known to make biscotti as gifts for others!
Biscotti is so easy to make! There is no oil/butter or liquid. Only whole eggs, egg whites, and vanilla make up the “wet” part of the recipe. This can make it seem like the dough is too dry as you are combining the ingredients, but don’t worry, keep stirring it in and your dough will come together.
Usually near the end of stirring the dough I will turn it out onto a countertop and knead it together. You will then divide the dough in half and shape it into two logs, then flatten out to about 1/2 inch thick.
After it is baked, you let the logs cool about 15 minutes, then cut them into slices to pop back into the oven and bake a little longer.
Dipping the biscotti in some dark chocolate and sprinkling with a few more mini M&M’s is optional! Even though I am a coffee lover, I love to dip my biscotti in hot tea and if the biscotti is dipped in chocolate or plain, they are still pretty darn delicious.
