At least two people have commented that they don’t know what biscotti is, so I thought I’d introduce biscotti! It’s delicious, especially the almond ones. I haven’t tried them all, I haven’t seen them all. Here’s a few I came across on the web.
Parmesan biscotti
Cranberry Orange Biscotti

All this biscotti talk is making me want to try to make them, but they’ve been on offer recently at the store, much easier!

I have never made them before either but may want to give it a go.
Let me know if you give it a try :0)
I have never made them but have eaten loads! Molto buono!
:0)
I have eaten them before without knowing they are called Biscotti!
Hi Yatin, and I thought biscotti was Italian for biscuit not twice-baked.
I like them dunked in coffee – yummmm!
:0)
I’ve never made them or eaten them, but they look quite yummy! Thanks for the enlightenment!
Oh and they are way too good for dog treats, owners only
Now that’s just not right Ms Johnson!
Watch out for your teeth..:)
Good warning!
Love to make them, LOVE to eat them! Definitely feeling drawn to that Cranberry Orange variety above
I’m sure you probably know this from your Biscotti recipe search, but “Biscotti” means “twice baked.”
My research was mainly of the licking my lips variety
I didn’t know twice-baked but it makes sense with how crunchy they are Barbara.
Yum! I want some!
I wish you could just touch the screen and grab them, August.
nom nom crispy crunch dunk!
That sounds like a great refrain to a biscotti poem!
I love biscotti – although I haven’t made any in awhile. Thanks for reminding me! (one of the ones I make is a dried cherry-pistachio, with the end dipped in white chocolate – yum!)
Yum! Shame we can’t have writers’ retreat at your house, Matt.
Says who?? Come on down!

One of my mates in the swimming pool when I do my aquacise is named biscotti. She’s aged and sweet and funny.

Oh, cute! That’s a lovely nickname.
Now you’re talking my language, Catherine! I’m Italian so whenever I hear biscotti, I’m brought back to my childhood eating them for breakfast every morning in Italy. We had a cookie called Bucaneve, which went well with milk. They were round, flat, with a hole in the middle and coated in a sugary hard cream. Boy, I loved those growing up. I don’t think my mom couldn’t go shopping without bring back a box for me!
They sound delicious! Remind me to blog about my walking tour of London with the Italians then, it was hilarious!
They are surprisingly easy to make. I can say this because as a matter of fact I wear the worst baker crown (I can cook though) and yet when I made biscotti they were amazing. Dare I say better than the store bought?
Leslie, you are inspiring me, since I say all the time I hate baking, but I do like cooking, especially soup at the moment. If I make them now while the kids are too young to appreciate them then there’s more for me :0) Do you live closer than Matt lol?
Yum!
And now I know, should we let Mike continue to think it is espresso?
Hee, hee oh yes!
