what you need

cups flour

1-1/2

tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder

1/4

tsp. salt

1/2

cup (1 stick) butter, softened

3/4

cup sugar

eggs

tsp. vanilla

1-1/2

cups whole grain cereal flakes with cranberries and almonds

squares BAKER'S White Chocolate, chopped

squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate

Make It

HEAT oven to 325°F. Mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in cereal and white chocolate. Divide dough in half; shape each half into 14x2-inch log with lightly floured hands. Place on greased baking sheet.

BAKE 25 to 30 min. or until lightly browned. Transfer to cutting board; cool 10 min. Use serrated knife to diagonally cut each log into 12 slices; place upright on baking sheet. Bake 15 to 18 min. or until slightly dried. Cool on wire racks.

MELT semi-sweet chocolate. Dip biscotti in chocolate; let stand until firm.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Dip cooled biscotti in BAKER'S Dipping Chocolate (any variety) instead of the melted BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate.

Variation

Omit melted baking chocolate. Sprinkle cooled biscotti with powdered sugar. Or drizzle with combined 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 Tbsp. orange juice. Let stand until glaze is firm.

It was very easy except I did not get the sizes uniform. They were delicious and I passed this recipe around to people.

Very easy to make and very delicious! I found that cutting slowly right after it's cooled for 5 minutes worked best for me. I also baked it on parchment paper which made the logs very easy to transfer from baking sheet to cooling rack, then back to baking sheet. Simply pick up the sheets and gently slide the loaves onto the next destination!

Very easy to make and taste so good! Love the chocolate drizzled over the top! Would love to make more biscotti recipes in the future.

I used Cranberry Vanilla Crunch cereal and it's very yummy. I also dipped in the chocolate then drizzled with melted white chocolate. Mine did not come out as light as the picture, but still very tasty. Next time I will try crunching up the cereal, maybe that will help the breaking issue when flipped (but that just makes more biscotti!).

loved this, although it got a little crumbly when cutting. Going very slowly helped. Definitely add more dried cranberries. I've already made this again to give away as Christmas gifts! YUM!!

These are tasty, and easy to make. I also found them to be a little crumbly when slicing; if I pushed the knife straight down instead of "sawing" it helped. I've always turned the sliced biscotti halfway through the second baking, and a couple of them broke as I was doing that. I wonder if raising the heat a bit might help. I think I will also use almond extract instead of vanilla next time for a very pronounced almond flavor. I would also like to get more dried cranberries in there.

Very easy to make and very tasty. I also found it hard to keep it from breaking apart. Made three logs rather then two as it is easier to handle when removing from tray.
