Double Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti

I don’t make biscotti nearly enough and I have no idea why! They are faster to make than regular cookies (no scooping), they are the perfect companion to my regular afternoon coffee breaks, and my kids get so excited and love dunking them in milk!

Peppermint Mocha Biscotti

This Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti would make such a nice gift too! Wrap some in cellophane and tie with a ribbon. Put them in a big coffee mug and voila! You have an easy, yummy, lovely gift anyone would be happy to receive.

Speaking of gifts, are you done Christmas shopping? Don’t even ask me. While I’ve made several trips to various stores, and multiple boxes are arriving daily, I have so many people to buy for, it’s taking me a lot longer this year to get it all done.

I think next year I should just give everyone cookies, candy, and fudge! Ha! It sure would make things easier, and I never hear anyone complain about receiving tasty food gifts 🙂

I hope you give this Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti a try, and I hope it fills you with cheer! Merry Christmas!!

    If I freeze these, when should I add the topping? Can the topping freeze or should I wait until I’m ready to gift these?

      I would add the topping just before gifting. I have frozen them with the topping on, but the candy cane bits aren’t as good that way. Enjoy, Abby!

      You should be able to freeze the toppings too. Make sure you use a good freezer bag or container.

    I love biscotti, I can’t wait to give them a try. I would love to make them for gifts and place in a mug as you suggested, by the way where did you get those darling mugs, they would be delightful filled with biscotti.

    I’m also always asking myself why I don’t make biscotti more often! What could be better than a cookie that I can dunk in coffee? These are so pretty with the crushed peppermint!

    These look beautiful! Just what I needed to top off my Christmas baskets this year! One question though. How do you keep the crushed candy canes on the biscotti as in the photo? The instructions don’t seem to match the pictures-although I may just simply be missing a step somewhere. Wouldn’t be the first time! 😉

    For the longest time I thought biscotti were difficult to make since you had to bake them twice. Um…NOPE! I’m with you though, I don’t make them nearly enough either! These are some gorgeously festive ones!

    Oh my, these are wonderful. I usually stay away from biscotti because they can be so hard. I think I will eliminate the second baking and keep everything else. Thanks!

      Dip them in coffee, tea or hot chocolate and they almost melt in your mouth! That’s the ONLY way I eat biscotti and I LOVE it!
