Snickers Biscotti and Military Care Package #1

They are awesome! I have family that request them every Thanksgiving. Plus, if you are trying to be concious of eating a little healthier, this is a great option for portion control versus an entire piece of pie.


Snickers Biscotti and Military Care Package #1

Ingredients
Biscotti Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
Note: If you use natural cocoa powder instead of Dutch-process use ½ teaspoon of baking soda instead of the baking powder.
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped or broken into small pieces
8 tablespoons 1 stick butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup caramel bits or caramel cubes chopped in 4-6 pieces each
½ cup chopped peanuts salted or unsalted according to taste

Icing and Drizzle Ingredients:
2 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup about 24 unwrapped caramel cubes
2 tablespoons milk
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate broken into small chunks
½ cup chopped peanuts

Directions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and chopped chocolate. Pulse until the chocolate is ground into the flour mixture. (Running the processor continually rather than pulsing will create too much heat and will melt the chocolate instead of finely grinding it.)
