YUMMY!!! I made these as Christmas gifts this past year. Everyone RAVED about them :) One of my clients called me at home the following week (I left a bag on his desk before my holiday break / vacation) to tell me how good they were! These are crunchy, but not too crunchy. They have a somewhat soft consistency that I really enjoy. These make great gifts (did I mention that???!!!??!) and are one of the better biscotti recipes I've found on this site. You gotta try this one!

Great recipe. Simple ingredients that I had in my pantry. Because of other reviews, I carefully watched my time-I had no trouble at all with temperature/time. It's a keeper!

These were good, but lacked something... I can't put my finger on it, maybe they'd be better if they were drizzled with white or dark chocolate. I will make again though!

tasted and looked just like biscotti. would be very good with coffee since it's not too sweet. if you're looking for something really chocolately, though, this is not it. make regular brownies instead.

Very yummy with a few slight changes. I baked at a lower temp, and made three smaller loaves. I toasted my walnuts and increased the amount, also increased the chocolate (I just coarsely chopped regular chocolate chips). Instead of an egg wash, I just dusted the tops with powdered sugar. Looks so nice on a cookie tray with the cranberry-pistachio biscotti from this site.

I'm not sure why anyone would call this biscotti. They turned out to be burnt dried up, brownies. I was so disapointed. They would've been good if I hadn't put them back in to the oven. Just cut and leave out to air dry or something. Sorry but I won't be making these again.

Sorry, but this recipe as written was a dud for me. My baker’s instinct told me that 375 was too high, but I followed the recipe anyway. My biscotti were a little burnt in less than 10 minutes of the second bake. I have a brand new oven and have tested it with an oven thermometer, so I know it wasn't that. I made a second batch and cooked those at 300 for 20 minutes on each side for the second bake and they came out much better. Sure, you have to cook it longer at a lower temperature, but at least it's not burnt. I found the flavor of these to be wonderful, but they were much more prone to falling apart than other recipes I've tried. I love the idea of this recipe and the dough tasted wonderful, but I will have to do some tweaking to get it to work. I doubt I’ll try it again. I'm glad it worked for other people though.

The great thing about biscotti is its versatility so this recipe works well as a starter. I'm a hard-core chocolate lover so tried dark chocolate cocoa, dark chocolate chips and dried cherries for a Black Forest biscotti. Next time I think I'll stick with or cut the dark with the regular cocoa. The dark cocoa is just too bitter and makes the biscotti crumble more easily. But everyone loved them and the cherries gave them a nice chewy contrast to the crunch. I only wish this recipe made more biscotti like some of my favorite recipes.

That's the best recipe. I rocked at the cookie exchange! I followed the recipe exactly, and temperature was also good for my oven. I used regular chocolate ships, not miniatures. And some pecans instead of walnuts. Turned out great.

These were extremely good. They weren't the hardness of biscotti .. kind of a hard brownie but they were yummy. My son (4) keeps walking past them and each time its..mmmm yummmmmmmy mummmy. I added almond extract to the yolk water mixture for that almond flavour as I left nuts out. I cooked for 20 min at 375 but reduced the 2nd cook temp to 300 and did 10 min per side. Very yummy.

Mmmm, I made these tonight and they're so yummy. I did have some trouble with crumbling. Next time (and there will be a next time), I'll cut them slower and do what other reviewers recommend. My dad says they'd go great with coffee. I'm thinking of brushing coffee over the tops next time. The chocolate chips aren't even necessary, and neither are the nuts, but they sure are good. Crunchy and delicious!

Wow I am very impressed! These turned out perfectly and I even forgot to use the water/egg wash! They were actually quite like the chocolate nut biscotti at Starbucks, surprisingly. The baking times were perfect for me, other reviewers may realize that it's their ovens that are the problem & adjust accordingly.

I loved this recipe. I had tried another biscotti recipe and didn't care for it but I thought this one was great. Also, I used almonds instead of walnuts. I left them in the oven for quite a while on the second bake because I wanted a crunchy biscotti.

To cut calories, I left out the chocolate chips, nuts, and egg wash, and I replaced the half the eggs with Egg Beaters, and it was still pretty good. My husband said they were great with coffee - not too sweet. I gave four stars only because I prefer a crunchier biscotti. Will definitely make again.

Made this twice, it all got eaten. Never realized biscotti was so quick and easy to make. I used regular sized chocolate chips. I divided the dough in 1/2 and made the other 1/2 with white chocolate chips and hazelnuts. Very good!

This recipe was so good. I added 3/4 cup of chocolate chips(both white chocolate and semi-sweet) instead of 1/2 cup. I used regular size chocolate chips instead of small ones but the recipe was still good.
