Have you recovered from yesterday? I certainly hope you had a blessed & beautiful Thanksgiving Day!
I thought I would stay low key here through the whole holiday weekend. I’m sticking with simple & easy recipes & projects to make your life easier. I knew I would need something to snack on over coffee while the hubs is home with me for these 4 days. I decided to try making some biscotti – but since I am really loving all this dark chocolate I picked up at a recent run to the market- I added some on in there & made a tasty treat.
Dark Chocolate Almond Biscotti
Perfect blend of chocolate & almond.

- Line baking sheet with parchment- set aside
- In mixer - combine oil & sugar. Beat until combined.

- Fold in 1/4 cup slivered almonds & 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips.

Best biscotti ever! Thank you!
I was a little unsure as to how wet the dough should be though it worked. But I know next batch I will add more flour. It would help if you could show a photo for consistency.
