Biscotti.

I'm thinking of a couple of home-made things I can give as presents for Xmas.
The Candied orange Peels are good, and I saw a couple of YT videos on Biscotti's. I thought that was a nice idea, I need to get some brown sugar and almonds, and see if that is a goer.

The first video has fruit in it, and it looks pretty good, the 2nd has just almonds. 

  BISCOTTI with NUTS & DRIED FRUIT

 4 extra large Eggs 

1 cup Sugar (white) 

1 cup Brown Sugar 

6 oz Butter (1½ sticks) 

1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract 

1 Lemon (Juice & Zest) 

1 Tbsp Baking Powder 

1 tsp Baking Soda 

4½ - 5 cups All Purpose Flour 

1 cup Sliced Almonds

 1 cup chopped Mixed Dried Fruit (Figs, Dates, Raisins)

I've got to maybe look at some packaging for the gift wrapping too

This one has great presentation:

The results

So, after baking them and putting them in bags I bought some poly bags that are seal-able. I coated them in chocolate (milk and white) and dipped them in ground nuts, Then bagged them and used straw to suck air out of them.
 Next time, I think I'd make thinner than before as they are a bit big to bite into, it's a biscuit, so should be thinner. A sharp knife to slice.

 I also did the orange peel double dips (milk choc one end & white choc the other).

So all in air tight bags and ready for Christmas as gifts.
