Dark Chocolate Almond Biscotti

This post is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almonds.

This dark chocolate almond biscotti is the perfect little treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.

Every once in a while, you just need something sweet and chocolatey and YUMMY. Bonus points if it pairs perfectly with coffee (<- my love).

I posted my Christmas biscotti way back in December, and I am using that same base biscotti recipe, but changing up the add-ins a bit. In this recipe I am stirring in some Blue Diamond oven roasted dark chocolate almonds, along with some semi sweet chocolate chips. And I must say: it is a tasty combination!

Also, I must have sliced this batch a little thicker because I only got 34 biscotti out of it.

Ingredients

• 3½ cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature, 1 stick
• ¾ cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Blue Diamond oven roasted dark chocolate almonds
• 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put the almonds in a large ziplock bag and crush them, using a rolling pin or wooden spoon. (You could alternatively use a few pulses in the food processor. I enjoy unleashing some aggression.) Set aside.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon baking mat.
4. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt.
5. Using an electric mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Add the eggs, one at a time, until well-incorporated.
7. Add the vanilla.
8. Gently stir in the flour mixture until just combined.*
9. Fold in the almonds and the chocolate chips.
10. Divide the dough in half, and shape into two logs 12 inches long, 2½ inches wide and 1 inch high.
11. Bake for 35 minutes, and then remove, leaving the oven on.
12. After letting it cool for about 5 minutes (they will still be warm), cut each log into ½ inch slices on the diagonal.
13. Place the slices back on the baking sheet (use two baking sheets to fit all the pieces), and bake for 7-8 minutes.
14. Remove the baking sheets from the oven, and turn each piece of biscotti over.
15. Return to the oven and bake for another 7-8 minutes until crisp.
16. Let them cool.
17. Serve when cooled, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
