These are really good. Have seen the recipe before and only change is I use homemade cinnamon chips instead of store bought. They taste a lot better and are easy to make. You can find recipe for home made cinnamon chips online.

A GREAT BISCOTTI RECIPE, & that comes from someone who really enjoys biscotti! The only change I made was to use sliced almonds, even though I had a lot of walnuts on hand! Really enjoyed the taste of the cinnamon here, & the recipe is one I'll be making again! Thanks for posting it! [Tagged, made & reviewed as a PRESSIE in the AUs/NZ 12 Days of Christmas Recipe Swap]
