Double Chocolate, Orange and Hazelnut Biscotti image

Biscotti are easier to make than you might think, and they're delicious with breakfast or as a snack. They store well for over a week in a sealed jar or bag. I came up with this recipe when trying to use odds and ends I had in the house. Although we love to munch on all kinds of biscotti, this variety is especially amazing-just try one with coffee or espresso! -Sarah Knoblock, Hyde Park, Indiana
