Candy Cane Biscotti

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Layered Biscotti

My grandmother (fathers’ mother) celebrated a birthday this past Saturday so I baked up a special treat to send to her.  When it comes to care packages, biscotti often come to mind because they are regularly crowd pleasers and both ship and keep well. Biscotti are often served here in the states with coffee, but [...]
