Biscotti Recipes

Some days I just dread getting out of bed but, when I have something to look forward to, it makes it easier.

The combination of rich, bold coffee and delicious cookies is simply amazing!

Dipping homemade  Amaretto Biscotti into a steaming hot coffee is a wonderful breakfast pairing!

I love my Peppermint Mocha Chocolate Biscotti that is also dipped in chocolate and then sprinkled with crushed peppermint candy.

It’s a great way to start the day. The chocolate melts and the almond-flavored biscotti softens and blends with the coffee to make for an incredible flavor combination.

Café Bustelo is a high-quality Hispanic coffee. It has a bold, rich, full-bodied flavor that you can still taste after adding milk and sugar.

It’s roasted and ground from the finest coffees in the world. No fancy equipment is needed to brew this flavorful coffee. It comes in ground, brick, and K-cup forms.

I bought my Café Bustelo at my local ShopRite but, you can find it at your local ShopRite store. I found it in the coffee aisle.

Chocolate-Dipped Amaretto Biscotti are certainly a great pairing for espresso. To make this recipe, you’ll only need a few ingredients.

First, make the dough. Then, put it in the refrigerator.

Next, form the chilled dough into to 12 inch long logs.

Then, bake on 350F the dough for only 25 min.

Look how beautiful they look coming out of the oven! They have crispy, brown edges. Then let it cool completely. Cut it into slices and bake it again to get it lightly browned.

Then, flip the slices over for a few more minutes to allow the other side to brown.

Last, dip it into melted chocolate and let it cool again.

That’s it! They’re full of almond flavor and really yummy! Just brew your favorite Café Bustelo coffee, get your fresh biscotti and sit down to enjoy this delicious treat.

The biscotti will last up to two weeks in an airtight container but, I doubt they won’t get eaten by then. If you’ve never made biscotti before, you’re in for a homemade treat. It really is a great pairing for a rich and bold coffee such as, Café Bustelo.

A hot cup of bold Café Bustelo coffee and flavorful Chocolate-dipped Amaretto Biscotti is a real treat. You’ll love this delicious breakfast paring to start your day. Get your favorite variety of Café Bustelo and let’s get baking!
