Coconut Walnut Biscotti
"A delicious biscotti. I made this one year and took a bag to my granddaughter's basketball game. My daughter and granddaughter ate it all on the way home. They both just loved it. The kids all ask for it when they come home for Christmas. They also like us to bring some when we visit. It travels well."

This biscotti was delicious!! I've been on a biscotti "kick" lately and this is absolutely the best tasting of the 5 varieties that I made. Thanks so much!! -
This is outstanding! I have made this twice, packed on a Christmas buffet, taken to a charity event and there were raves! I would like to try to coursely chop sunflower seeds in place of walnuts for those that cannot eat nuts. Great Recipe! Thanks for posting.
