Hi, I made these yesterday and they were easy and delicious. I will be sending them in my Christmas gift mailings to friends and family. I, honestly, though would like them a bit sweeter. I could change the chocolate to semi sweet for the dip but was wondering if I could add a bit more sugar in the mix without affecting the texture of bar. I love the tenderness of the bite for sure. Thank you.
Hi! You could maybe up the sugar to 180g but it will make them a bit crunchier. Changing the dipping choc will help with the sweetness. You can also brush the semi-baked logs in egg white and then roll in demerara sugar before slicing and baking
Sophie I made the biscotti and they looked fine when I made them but when I went to heat seal them in packages, there was a strange bloom on the chocolate. Looks little round circles. I have never seen this before. Wish I could post a pic. I don't know if I should gift it as is or how to fix it. Maybe pop in oven for a bit and then into refrigerator. I used Callebaut bittersweet and a few Semi Sweet callets. The bittersweet were about a year or more old but kept sealed in a sealed bin. Thank you.
Is it the dipping chocolate that did this? It usually just means that it's out of temper, but still fine to eat! There are a few ways you could disguise it, either pop them in the oven on a very low temperature until the chocolate has just melted and then sprinkle the chocolate with finely chopped nuts, or dust with shimmer spray, bronze shimmer spray always works really well on chocolate plus it'll make them look extra festive!
Hello - I'm making these this morning sometime. Could you confirm if the nuts and chocolate get added in with everything else when the dry and wet are mixed. I just can't see it in the instructions but I assume there is nowhere else they can be added? Thanks
I am a new subscriber and looking forward to trying this recipe for my holiday baking shipped packages. As a new member can you tell me if there is the option to download the recipe or print this recipe etc. Thank you.
I’ve been doing my holiday baking since April 😂. I’m going to re-make as many of the advent calendar recipes as possible to really get in the spirit! It’s been ages since I made some of them

Oh yes sorry about that! Add the nuts and chocolate right after the dry. I’ll edit the post now!
