Double Chocolate, Orange and Hazelnut Biscotti image

Biscotti are easier to make than you might think, and they're delicious with breakfast or as a snack. They store well for over a week in a sealed jar or bag. I came up with this recipe when trying to use odds and ends I had in the house. Although we love to munch on all kinds of biscotti, this variety is especially amazing-just try one with coffee or espresso! -Sarah Knoblock, Hyde Park, Indiana

I followed the recipe exactly and the biscotti turned out burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The biscotti were a little too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were very good.

These biscotti were absolutely delicious! The chocolate, orange, and hazelnut flavors were all perfectly balanced, and the biscotti were the perfect texture - crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again!
