Chocolate and Hazelnut Biscotti
This is a simple biscotti biscuit that gets its flavours from a diced snickers bar and hazelnuts. Unlike some biscotti they are not too crispy.

I love this recipe - easy and tasty! I've changed a couple of things though: - first I roast the nuts in the oven for about 10 minutes (at 350 degrees) or until they start to colour. - I use 1/2 cup of sugar - I use margarine instead of butter - I use about 3/4 cup of choc chips instead of the package of chocolate. - I've added about 1 tbsp of decaf espresso powder to the dry ingredients too and that was quite nice. - Last time I cooked them, when I was about to do the 2nd time in the oven, I just turned the oven off and left them in there and they turned out great! - 01 May 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
A very easy recipe with great results.I doubled the recipe and learned don't over crowd them one the first baking since they spread out alot. - 17 Jan 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I have made this recipie 30~40 times and it is always a hit! I always find the dought really sticky so I add some more flour or powdered almonds if I have them which really makes them nutty and really soft so my grand mother can eat them. - 13 Dec 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
