Have made these several times to rave reviews! Easy, fast and great biscotti recipe. Last night made a batch to. Ring to a friend's home, whose son is allergic to nuts. She loves the combination of chocolate-raspberry. Instead of almond extract, used 1 teaspoon vanilla extract + 1/8 teaspoon raspberry extract. The results--AMAZING!!
