Hi, I’m Deb and I share my cooking and baking adventures over at Cooking on the Front Burner.  I’m starting to get into the holiday mood and creating some recipes from breakfast to dessert.  It’s the most wonderful time of the year (for eating, right)!
Holiday time can also be busy and sometimes you want to sit back and relax with a cup of coffee or tea (perhaps as you are making a list and checking it twice!) and want just a little something om the side..  That is where this Orange Cranberry Biscotti comes in.  It’s a great, sweet treat.  It even has a drizzle of white chocolate.
These would also make a great hostess or holiday gift.

I would love for you to stop by and visit Cooking on the Front Burner where I share other ideas for eating or holiday gift giving!

    The biscotti is delicious. Why would mine have been really crumbly when I sliced it for the second bake?

    Thanks

    Can these be frozen to gift later? If so for how long and any suggestions for keeping fresh?

    These came out wonderfully. The orange flavor is outstanding. Of course I get to cheat and take an orange off my tree so that I have fresh squeezed juice and fresh zest of course. That would white Chocolate drizzle just really top them off. I just finished eating one with a cuppa coffee as my breakfast thank you for this recipe. I posted a picture and I this comment at the end of the recipe also.
