Pro Tips To Make The Best Holiday Red Biscotti

• Before baking, warm your eggs in water to room temp for that flawless blend.
• Soften butter in the microwave using the defrost cycle for about 40 seconds to avoid any lumps in your batter.
• For a dazzling holiday touch, drizzle your biscotti with melted white chocolate – it’s the winter wonderland effect that will make your Christmas table sparkle!
• When you slice your biscotti, don’t let them rest too long before slicing, it will be easier to slice and move them with the tip of your knife, not your fingers once sliced.
• If you love almonds you can add almonds to your recipe, we do not as too many friends that love this recipe eat them, and have nut allergies.
