Chocolate-Nut Biscotti
Leah Schapira & Victoria Dwek, Passover Made Easy
Yields 20 biscotti
Leah says: I made these, I left them in a cookie jar on the counter. Three days later, when I gave my neighbor one to taste, she asked, “It’s she’hakol, right?†Oops. All along, my family had been saying the blessing of mezonos before eating these biscotti. I had forgotten to tell them these were Passover biscotti! -
