I love biscotti, and the walnuts make it even better! It’s all about the crunch and texture for me!
Lemon walnut sounds wonderful. I haven’t made biscotti in ages, thanks for the inspiration–these will be great on our cookie trays.
These look absolutely delicious. I’ve never tried making biscotti before.
