Chocolate Cherry Almond Biscotti - CEiMB

Better late than never!

This recipe was chosen by Leanne from Enjoying My Favorite Things. Very nice choice Leanne! She has the recipe posted on her blog or if you click HERE you can find it. The recipe is also on page 302 in Ellie's cookbook.

This is only the second batch of biscotti I have ever made. The first being Lenox Almond Biscotti for TWD. I made this healthier version of biscotti tonight. The recipe calls for olive oil in place of butter. It also calls for dried cherries, almonds and dark chocolate. I used semi-sweet mini chips in place of the dark chocolate. I may have also put in a little extra mini chips as well.

This biscotti is OK. I wouldn't say that it is outstanding. I'm not sure that I really like the olive oil taste to it or not? You can definetely taste it in there though. I also remember that I liked the lenox almond biscotti much better the second day so I am thinking that I will enjoy this a lot more tomorrow. We'll see I guess. The Hubster even said that it was good.

For the life of me I can't figure out why my biscotti look like pieces of bread. I followed the recipe to a tee and made my log 10 inches long by 3 inches wide. The biscotti sure don't look like others that I have seen.
