Cherry Hazelnut Biscotti image

Presents from the pantry are a tradition with me-and this crusty coffee "dunker" is a favorite! Stuffed with fruits and nuts, it freezes well and can be made a month ahead of busy holidays. Dried cranberries can be substituted for cherries.

These were a bit too hard for my liking, but I think that's just because I didn't bake them long enough. Otherwise, they were very tasty.

Not bad, but not great either. I think I would have liked them more if they had been a little sweeter.

These were a bit too dry for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, they were very flavorful.

Not a fan of the cherry hazelnut combo, but the biscotti themselves were good.

Easy to make and delicious! I used dried cranberries instead of cherries and they turned out great.

These biscotti were a delight! The combination of cherries and hazelnuts was perfect, and the biscotti had a great texture. I would definitely make these again.
