I am loving bringing you all my favorite things to make and bake at Christmas time. I hope you are enjoying it to and feel free to comment below and let me know what you love or what you would want to see. During the season, I love a good food gift. I love to package up something delicious in a cute way and give it to friends, co-workers or neighbors. It just shows that you put to a little extra effort into that gift.
Today’s recipe would be a perfect gift to package up and give someone this holiday season, but it’s also a GREAT hors d’ouevre.
I came across this recipe over the summer and it totally intrigued me. I love biscotti. I make a sweet holiday biscotti every year to give away as gifts which you can check out here. But, like that recipe, biscotti is typically sweet. Aren’t you supposed to dip it into your coffee?? Now, I probably wouldn’t recommend that with this particular biscotti recipe, but it is equally as delicious. I totally recommend making it for your Christmas party this year.
