Chocolate Covered Biscotti

Recently, chocolate covered biscotti have become a very unique and popular wedding favor. But first, you may be wondering, "What is biscotti?" It is a long, thick nut flavored biscuit originally baked in Italy. Biscotti history tells us it is a traditional Italian wedding cookie and it's name means "twice baked" because that is exactly what happens to it. The dough is baked the first time in a log shape, and then it is sliced and baked again. This creates a crunchy, hard cookie that the Italians love to dunk in coffee, wine and many other beverages. It is usually baked with almonds, but can be made with other nuts instead. Biscotti are baked in many flavors such as cherry, banana, or apricot.

Today, this traditional cookie can be dipped in Belgian white chocolate and be hand decorated to become a perfect wedding favor. Any photo or text can be printed on the white chocolate making a unique, personalized cookie. One creative idea is to put an edible image of you and your groom, your name, and your wedding date onto the tasty treat. This will put a contemporary and modern twist onto the traditional cookie. These chocolate covered decorated biscotti are sure to be remembered by everyone.
