Chocolate,Almond, Cherry Biscotti

Chocolate...

Chocolate Listeni/ˈɒklɨt/ is a raw or processed food produced from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao has been cultivated for at least three millennia in Mexico, Central and South America. What a wonderful discovery for us to enjoy!
Chocolate has become one of the world's most popular food types and flavours of the world. It is the quintessential ingredient for so many of my delicious Desserts and Biscotti for example.... Chocolate, Almond & Cherry Biscotti, Chocolate and Hazelnut Flourless Cake. Whether you prefer Dark, Milk  or White Chocolate -  (no cocoa solids in White Chocolate) it is all up to individual taste, for me Dark Chocolate is the way to go and I use it frequently!

I have made these chunky Biscotti with roasted almonds, tart cherries and dark chocolate pieces, with a little added spice.They are twice baked  which gives them a crispy, crunchy texture and to finish drizzled with more chocholate.


Each bite will give you a little surprise.Try them dunked into a cup of coffee for that early morning -"kick start". It is very hard to stop at one...
