chocolate biscotti.with love

this is one of my favorite recipes and is loved by all, big and small. great during warm summer days with an iced coffee, comforting on cold winter nights with a steamy cup of tea or even as a special treat inside a lunch box. whether you are making this recipe for yourself or for your family and friends or even that neighborhood bake sale, be sure to add an extra dash of love!
