Brownie Mix Biscotti

I like to have something sweet on hand most of the time.   Usually I enjoy it with a cup of coffee in the evening or as a snack during the day.  Sometimes I make a batch of cookies and other times I make a cake or some cupcakes.   I even make quick breads sometimes.

On occasion I start looking for something different.    I've made biscotti in the past and it goes really well with both hot tea and coffee.  I like biscotti because it stands up to being dunked into a hot beverage and they last longer then regular cookies.   However, I don't like that you have to bake the biscotti two different times because it takes a long time.

I did really enjoy this Brownie Mix Biscotti.   While it is still baked two times the batter is really easy to make because it starts with a brownie mix.  I added in both white and chocolate chips to give it some color and texture.   Then I added walnuts to the batter.  You can add your favorite type of nuts or just leave them out all together.

Like traditional biscotti this version is baked in a loaf then taken out, sliced, and cooked for a second time.  You can leave them as they are for a tasty chocolate cookie treat or you can jazz them up.  I dunked mine in milk chocolate and then drizzled it in white chocolate.  You can also dip them in dark chocolate then roll them in walnuts.

Anyway you decorate this biscotti it's delicious!  At the core the biscotti is crunchy and tastes like chocolate.   The chocolate chip and white chocolate chips add more flavor and the walnuts add some texture.   I enjoyed mine with coffee and it was the perfect afternoon snack.
