  There wasn't any indication as to how much baking powder should be used. Made them with 1tsp & they were OK, although I had to double the cooking time. Not the best biscotti we've had, but they all disappeared so I would make them again.

  I made these last year and they went down a storm - I didn't drizzle the white choc over them though. Will definitely be making them again this year!

  I made this to put in cellophane bags as a Christmas treat for some of my friends and they looked just like the picture. However I found them a bit dry but still yummy!

  Biscotti are usually for dunking into coffee or vin santo,if you find them too dry.

  Made these as Christmas presents this year (minus the white chocolate drizzle), they were gratefully received and devoured! I found using a mix of flour and icing sugar (half & half) for rolling out is a better tasting alternative to just flour.

  I found that making the dough in a food processor was a complete disaster, it all stuck to the blades so I ended up scraping it all out and finishing it off in a bowl. The end result was fine though

  Mine looked exactly as in the picture and the method is easy to follow. However i do agree that they aren't really chocolatey enough.

  Very tasty! Just the right texture. I thought the chocolate flavour was just right... Too much more and you wouldn't taste the almonds. This recipe also worked ok for me when I only had 2 eggs. I just added a splash of milk and it was fine :)

  I made them as Christmas gifts along with the fruity biscotti. I don't have a food processor so mixed by hand and instead of chopping chocolate, I used plain chocolate chips and these worked perfectly. Will definitely make again - they've gone down very well with my neighbours! Oh - and I substituted the almonds for hazelnuts...yum!

  These are absolutely delicious and not too complicated to make. Could get away with using less White chocolate if needs be.

  SO easy to make and delicious! I topped mine with a dusting of icing sugar rather than white chocolate. Look just like the ones in Starbucks! One point is that even afterf adding the wet ingredients to my food processor it did not form a dough, just wet crumbs, so I had to pull it all together with my hands, which was fine but I was worried for a second! Excellent recipe.

  just made these as a christmas present for my grandparents.... i dont think they are even gunna make it home! i added a little more cocoa powder as others had said not chocolatey enough... i also used chocolate chips as opposed to chunks as i didnt have any and it seems to have worked well. mine dont look quite like the picture... they are more rustic looking, but at least you can see they're home made! LOVE the crunch you get with them! also agree with the comment about the icing sugar for rolling the dough!
