I love the fact that this recipe is the ‘real deal’ in that it is someone’s Nonna’s original recipe. Could you please specify what a stick of butter translates to?

My mother makes chocolate biscotti for Christmas, this looks so great! The almonds most be so toasted and wonderful in these! I feel inspired even though I am not much of a baker!

I’ve actually had good luck with Nigella Lawson’s granola staying quite fresh and crisp…

Kate 113.5 grams – is one stick of butter. A stick of butter is 1/4 lb – which means 4 oz.

These look great! Biscotti are a favorite for shipping, but really anything that is relatively firm and won’t go stale or start growing things in about a week should work – so most butter cookies and shortbread are great, or even caramel corn and nut brittle. I like to use well sealed glassine bags to individually wrap cookie bundles and then pack in crumpled tissue inside a larger box to be sure they won’t knock around much. And if you’re not shipping at Christmas, it only takes a couple days to get cross country.

When I was in college, my mom once managed to mail an entire chocolate pecan pie in the mail, and it arrived beautifully intact. My roommates and I sat on the floor and ate it with our hands. I have just been thinking about biscotti recently, so this is a nudge to make it again. Thank you!
