A food I never imagined myself making was biscotti. I know my mom likes it a lot, so I decided to attempt baking her a batch for Christmas. With the help of V-Con, it wasn't nearly the ordeal I expected it to be!

Sadly, I did not have the ingredients for the almond-anise ones, so I made cranberry-almond ones. :P Only two of them broke, so I sampled those broken ones. Wow! A definite hit, and these will be beautiful wrapped and placed inside a pretty Christmas box.

My only tip: make sure you have a very sharp (non-serrated) knife. The heavier, the better. Then they won't crumble or crack in half!
