Barbs Chocolate Walnut Biscotti Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate to butter; cook and stir until chocolate melts completely into the butter and the color is consistent, about 5 minutes.
• Slowly stream hot water into the chocolate mixture while stirring continually; add sugar and corn syrup. Continue to cook and stir until the sugar dissolves completely into the liquid, about 10 minutes.
• Remove saucepan from heat and stir vanilla extract and salt into the sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 deg.
• Butter and flour large baking sheet.
• In a bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder and baking soda. In another bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until combined well. Stir in flour mixture to form a stiff dough. Stir in nuts and chips.
• On prepared baking sheet, with floured hands, form dough into two slightly flattened logs, each 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
• Bake logs for 20 - 25 minutes or until slightly firm to the touch.
• Cool biscotti for 5 minutes.
• On a cutting board, cut biscotti diagonally into 3/4 inch slices.
• Place biscotti cut side down on baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Cool biscotti on a rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (waxed paper will not work, it will smoke.).
• In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the chocolate and sugar and grind until the chocolate is very fine. Set aside.
• In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl combine the eggs and the vanilla. Beat at medium speed to blend.
• Reduce the speed to low, add the chocolate and flour mixtures and mix until a stiff dough forms, adding the walnuts when about half mixed.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gather it together. Divide in half. Form each half into a log 12 inches long. (Give the logs plenty of space on both sides as the width of the logs doubles during baking.).
• Carefully transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
• Pat to even up the shapes. Bake until almost firm to the touch, about 50 minutes. (I have found that 40 minutes was sufficient).
• Let cool for 10 minutes. (Do not let it cool for longer as the logs will become brittle and more difficult to slice without breaking.).
• Leave the oven set at 300°F.
• Using a spatula, transfer the logs to a work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut on the diagonal into slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Return the slices cut side down to the baking sheet.
• Bake for 25 minutes. (I baked mine 15 minutes and the biscotti were very crispy).
• Turn the slices over and bake until crispy and dry, about 25 minutes longer. (Again, I found 15 minutes to be good).
• Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

Steps:
