I love biscotti now that I have dared to make Barb's delicious whole wheat ones. I used almonds and some mixed fruit, almond extract and maple sugar, with the remaining ingredients kept the same. Wonderful flavor and crunchy texture. I had to leave them in the oven for almost 20 minutes to get them dried enough. I probably just made them too fat. This is a recipe I will try again soon to see if I can perfect this technique.
