I'm not sure about the orange zest. I think I'll leave it out.

These biscotti are delicious, but they're very time-consuming to make. I think I'll only make them for special occasions.

I had some trouble getting the biscotti to slice evenly. They were a bit too soft in the middle.

These biscotti are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed these biscotti. The chocolate flavor is subtle, and the orange zest really shines through. They're also really crunchy, which I love.

These biscotti are a great way to use up leftover chocolate. I had some dark chocolate that I needed to use up, and these biscotti were the perfect solution. They turned out great!

I've never had Mayan chocolate before, but these biscotti are a great introduction. The chocolate has a unique flavor that's both sweet and slightly bitter. The biscotti themselves are crispy and flavorful, and they're perfect for dunking in coffee o
