Re: What's the attraction to Biscotti's

I used to say the same thing. I told me coworker they were hard as a rock. She told me you were supposed to dunk them in coffee. Once I tried it I've had one every morning since. These are my favorites...

@Just Bling

Are you dunking your biscotti? That's what they're for - dunking in coffee or tea, not eating like a cookie. Goodness, you'll break a tooth!

I really like these too @Tribesters. I tried the Di Bella brand that Chef Tony sells and every single one came broken in 2 and 3 pieces, very disappointing. These Nonni's are just as good as any other brand I've tried.

I'm not a fan because it has to be dunked.

I love Nonni's brand biscotti.

I love biscotti, all kinds. I've even made it from scratch.

I've always loved crunchy foods, and light cookies that you can eat more of!

I'm Italian and make several different kinds. I like them dunked but enjoy them just as is also. Some Italians dunk them in wine. I make an anise one that is so good that way. The ones dipped in chocolate were not the way the original ones were made. They shouldn't be overly sweet and many Italian cookies do not have a lot of sugar in them as it wasn't that readily available in some areas.

I love biscotti. I enjoy the crunch, feel like I am really eating something, I like the time it takes to eat the biscotti. Also they are not so sweet. I don't enjoy soft mushy cookies or doughnuts. Love the crust on fresh bread.

To each his own.
