Chocoholic Mint Truffle Kissed Biscotti…

Good Monday morning!!

So apparently I’m on some Hershey Kiss kick, can’t stop buying them! I picked up another bag at Target, but this time the Mint Truffle kind. Oh man, this one is equally as good as the others! The options were endless as to what I could do with that bag of kisses, but I decided on a minty chocolaty biscotti that was incredible!! I have to admit, since I’m not a coffee drinker I typically only enjoy biscotti in the winter months when I drink hot chocolate like a mad woman. Looking forward to  dipping it tonight with our hot chocolate!! Can’t wait.

Pretty basic recipe. You make your dough like typical cookie dough, form it into a giant log, bake it, cool it, slice it, re-bake the slices and voila you are ready!

The next few weeks are going to be crazy, I’m sure for you all too. Trying to finish up Christmas shopping and keeping up with all the school festivities! Can’t wait to get back with our family in AZ! What a fun time of year 🙂  Hope you’ll all enjoy some fab biscotti during your holidays!!

Here are those dreamy little kisses I was talking about. Look for the mint green bag….creamy mint truffle filling inside, dark chocolate on the outside, does it get any better?!

Wrap them up with a bow and they make great gifts for your family and friends. These will be going to the boys teachers today 🙂
