You’ll find this easy Chocolate Biscotti recipe easier than you think.

Coffee and chocolate are perfect partners. They’re so similar. They both come from beans, both which grow in similar clients. Both are dark. Both are addicting (at least to me they are). AND I like both. Yep, I like them both very much. Do you?

Anyway, these guys make a great pair for sure, and you will find that this Chocolate Biscotti dunked in a great cup of coffee is no exception. No bland biscotti here. No siree bobtail. It is quite the perfect biscotti. It is rich, and chocolatey, of course with the satisfying crunch that biscotti delivers. It just begs for a good cup of Joe. You’ll see.

If you’ve never made biscotti before it may seem daunting, but I think you will be very surprised at how easy biscotti is to make. Really. It is very similar to making cookies. The dough is very much like a cookie dough. It’s just what you do with that dough that is different. Basically, two large cookie logs are formed instead of small dough balls, then it is baked for a while, then sliced, and toasted. Super easy. Promise.

This recipe is too good to not try out. Especially the next time you’re having a coffee social, or maybe when looking for a great baked treat to share as gifts during the holidays. Wrap a few of these crispy treats up tight, tie it with bow, stick it in a coffee mug and you’ve got the perfect little gift. Of course, this Chocolate Biscotti may not last long enough to get wrapped up. It’s dangerously good. My daughter, who was never a big fan of biscotti, couldn’t stay away from it. It is as addicting as coffee.
