105 minutes
Very chocolatey biscotti is a refined Italian treat that combines the rich flavor of dark chocolate with the crunchy texture of classic biscotti. This recipe has its roots in Tuscan tradition, where biscotti are baked twice to achieve a special density and durability. The deep, rich cocoa aroma perfectly complements the warm vanilla note, and the addition of melted chocolate makes the cookies even more chocolatey. These biscotti are excellent for serving with a cup of espresso, cappuccino, or sweet wine, highlighting their rich flavor. They can be stored for a long time, making them an ideal treat for cozy evenings and a gift for chocolate lovers.
