You have achieved your goal! Was never a fan of biscotti,, why would anyone want to eat something so stale?? But, my mother in law told me how much she liked biscotti, but how expensive it was. So,, once I again trusting my King Arthur cookbook to not let me down, I gave it a try. Wow!! I was not disappointed. It isn't stale, it's just a crunchy cookie. Very different from the store kind,, imagine that? :) My mother in law loves it, and now it is what we frequently give to her as gifts at gift giving times, (or just when we get to visit). It makes it an enjoyable gift to give and receive. I know it's something she will like! However, the downside, my family now really likes it too, so all those little end peices that I have kept back, --because they aren't pretty enough to give :)-- are not enough.!! Now they think THEY should get their own!! I love the versitility of it. Basic vanilla, to lemon blueberry.. yum.. I haven't mentioned to my family about the dipping in chocolate.. I'll save that for another day! YAY - mission accomplished! I'll continue on by biscotti crusade until the last of the "I'm afraid of biscotti" and "Biscotti are too hard" bakers have become converts. Thanks for sharing your success here - PJH
