I Love biscotti!! I do not love hazelnuts!!! I decided to make half the recipe since that is my general plan with new baking endeavors. I also made some substitutions and additions .Out with the hazelnuts, in with toasted pecans. My favorite biscotti has chocolate covered raisins and chocolate chips so I added those to the mix. Also added a splash of strong coffee instead of the liqueur. I thought the recipe was pretty easy to follow. I was especially pleased with the idea given for the second baking. I have never done it that way but have certainly burnt many a finger doing it the traditional way. They came out nicely crisped. I will try this on my other biscotti recipes and see how it works, if it is successful then making this recipe was worth it for that technique alone!! I thought the texture of these was good, I felt the flavor was slightly lacking. The kitchen assistant, who is not a biscotti fan, thought they were tasty. I would probably stick with some of my other biscotti recipes rather then make this one again.

I love all your additions – choc-covered raisins, choc chip and pecans!! i think its these additions that make all the difference!
Very nice ideas for variations on the main theme. Pecans, raisins and chocolate as additions to this recipe sound wonderful and delicious. And the photo of your finished Biscotti looks very pretty!
Additions would be great on these, which I thought were very dry. Great job!
What a shame you didn’t love them but they sure look fantastic, raisins on it is a great idea!!!!!
Your cookies look great! Will make it soon…ismyzen.wordpress.com

Love your additions…I never would have thought of chocolate covered raisins, but I approve
They look lovely and your variations sound great!
Choco covered raisins? I am in
Maybe some Kahlua…Your variation of the recipe is great!
Nice variation on the add-ins. I love recipes like this that can be easily changed up to one’s tastes or available ingredients.
Mmm, love your additions with all the chocolate. Thanks for baking along with this one.
Your additions sounded great! If yours were bland, mine were down right tastless!
