Fantastic Double Chocolate-Pecan Biscotti image

Since biscotti is a huge favorite at my house I am always searching for good biscotti recipes, this one is fantastic! --- if you make biscotti and love chocolate, then this is a recipe you should try! --- since the batter is quite stiff this dough is best prepared on a heavy-duty stand mixer, the recipe can be completely doubled to make four logs, they will keep tightly covered at room temperature for one week, or frozen for one month, feel free to use any other chopped nuts that you desired, walnuts work great with this also :)

These biscotti were a bit too hard for my taste, but they had a nice flavor. I think I'll bake them for a little less time next time.

These biscotti were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll cut back on the sugar next time.

These biscotti were a bit too dry for my taste, but they had a nice flavor. I think I'll try adding a little more butter or oil next time.

These biscotti turned out perfectly! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. The chocolate and pecans added a delicious richness and flavor.
