My favorite thing about this recipe is how quickly you can whip up a batch of elegant biscotti that actually tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. The whole process takes less than an hour from start to finish, and you probably have most ingredients sitting in your pantry already. I love using hazelnuts here because they're packed with heart healthy fats that make these treats satisfying without leaving you feeling guilty. The caramel sauce adds that special something that makes people think you're far more skilled than you actually are. Trust me, once you master this one, you'll be making it constantly.
