These biscotti are a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more butter or oil next time.

I'm not a fan of almonds, so I used walnuts instead. They turned out great!

These biscotti are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.

I tried this recipe and it turned out great! The biscotti were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just like I like them. I also loved the flavor of the almonds and cranberries.
