Double Chocolate Thin Biscotti
July 11, 2014 By Anna Leave a Comment
I’m still on a thin sliced biscotti kick, so here’s another version for you. This one is double chocolate and uses assorted nuts, white chips and chocolate chips. For the chocolate base, I just added 1 oz of melted unsweetened chocolate.
Another change I made was to halve the recipe (the full batch is below) and use a slightly smaller loaf pan. The batter didn’t go all the way across the pan, but since it’s fairly stiff I just pushed it up against one side so that it covered about 2/3 of the pan lengthwise. I’m mentioning this because this batch looks a little nubbier than the last and the reason was the halving. Anyhow, it’s fun having all this…
