Who knew I would miss having double chocolate biscotti as much as I had?  I was first introduced to it when the beautiful wife of my husband’s colleague gifted us a very generous batch of homemade double chocolate biscotti during one Christmas holiday season.  This became a well-loved tradition in our house.  Every Christmas holiday over several years, we would receive these delicious baked goods from her.  I have come to rely on these wonderful biscotti to accompany my daily afternoon cappuccino indulgence during the winter months.  I was also able to share this gift with a few of my friends, since what we received was such a generous quantity.  Sadly, when the pandemic hit, this tradition ended, just like many good things that had to end. 

After unsuccessfully trying to get the recipe from our gift giver, I scoured for recipes online.  Relying on only my memory of their taste and appearance, I scrutinized the recipes to determine which one would produce the biscotti closest to the one our gift giver makes.  When I came across a recipe from the website called Once Upon a Chef with Jenn Segal, I knew I was onto something promising.  Once Upon a Chef’s double chocolate biscotti recipe is easy and much to my surprise, the yielded biscotti taste just like the ones I’ve been craving.  I followed the recipe exactly in order to ensure the outcome tastes like the ones I hope to re-create.  In the future, I would perhaps add more chocolate chips than the recipe indicates.   

Here's the link to the recipe:
