I love Biscotti. Love cantuccini as well…love plain ole twice baked bickies….you know me and the sweet tooth. These are the perfect foil for something creamy and rich and I developed this recipe to go with Brew Choc Panna Cotta; D.I.V.I.N.E. Those Italians know their desserts, Dolce. Bellisimo!
These of course are also fantabulous for just dunking in Brew Choc, the chocolate drink you brew like a coffee, (where HAVE you been??)
You will be glad to know (as I am) that biscotti were originally created in Tuscany in the 14th century as there was an abundance of almonds in the region. The twice baked idea (as opposed to half baked) was to draw all of the moisture out of the nuts and the biscuit thus avoiding mould...something we can all live without. Sort of ingenious don't you agree?
