Best Biscotti Recipe Ideas

My hot beverage intake seems to double once November rolls around. The biting winter breeze and need for big scarves results in me reaching for the coffee pot or tea kettle on a much more regular basis. The perfect accompaniment to a cup of steaming comfort? Biscotti!

These recipes are playful and modern takes on an Italian classic. Make sure to serve them with a hot drink for dunking (the best part, if you ask me).
