I'm giving this 5 stars because of taste and ease of making. Having said that, I wanted to add more cranberry taste to the biscotti. To that end, I added about 3 ounces of craisins. They taste great, but think I should have chopped up the craisins. When sliced, the large craisins stuck on the knife and left holes in the biscotti slices. I think next time I will also crush the cereal up a bit before adding to the dough. I will definitely make these again! Thnx for sharing, mariajane. Made for My-3-Chefs 2009.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
