For some reason, each year I make these biscotti for the New Year’s weekend. I think because they are so delicious with a warm cup of coffee and a great way to relax the morning of the new year. Treat yourself and make a batch of these wonderful crunchy biscotti. Share with friends, they will be glad you did! Happy New Year!
