Chocolate and Almond Dipped Biscotti

Hi all, I’m Cat, blogger at The Rustic Willow and new My Cooking Spot Contributor. My specialty is simple recipes that are sure to wow your family and your guests! I’m so excited to be here today and can’t wait to share delicious food with you.

Have you ever woken up and decided you just wanted something sweet to go with your coffee? You don’t want a piece of fruit or a yogurt: You want to indulge. That’s where this recipe idea came from! My grandfather has a biscotti every single morning before breakfast, and I know a lot of other people dip biscotti in their coffee. But I thought biscotti would be 10 times more delicious dipped in chocolate and almonds. And guess what? I was right.

These are so simple to make and oh, so delicious. The best part about them is that although I intended them for a sweet treat to accompany your coffee, they also make for a great dessert. My boyfriend has been sneaking a few in every night after dinner. And hey, I don’t blame him.

I also found that these little guys are a great gift to bring to a host or hostess. I’m not bashing the stereotypical bottle of wine to say “thank you for having me over,” I’m just saying these are more creative! Pack a bundle in a little cellophane bag, tie with a ribbon, and there you have it. Adorable.

So many uses for one little cookie! They’re really versatile, and did I mention delicious? Oh, I didn’t? Well, they’re delicious.

Have I made you fall in love with them yet? This is my last effort. Let me tell you why these are perfect. They have every single flavor and texture it takes to fall in love with a cookie. They’re sweet, nutty, chocolatey, smooth, crunchy, biscotti-y (I know that’s a made up word, just go with me here). They’re breakfast/dessert perfection.

So, let’s get to cookin’, shall we?
