Chocolate and hazelnut biscotti

Biscotti are Italian twice-baked biscuits. They are quite dry and crispy and are a perfect accompaniment to dunk into coffee, crème brulées, mousses or pannacottas. Again these make a very tasty edible Christmas gift and look very attractive packaged in a jar tied with ribbon.

Crunchy Pistachio Biscuits - When friends drop by for a catch up over coffee, they really don't believe me when I tell them how easy it is to make these biscuits. They are by far my favourite - lightly salted pistachio nuts are warmly tucked inside the golden brown bickies leaving you with a nice crunchy bite.

Rich chocolate hazelnut truffles - I have a "thing" for hazelnut and chocolate! I think the combination of the two is just delicious and sensational so when I was trying to decide on a recipe which hazelnut and chocolate played the main part, I decided to do my own thing and hope for the best!
