Directions
Fruited Nut Bars (Biscotti), For Christmas, mom gave me a new cookbook (what else!) of biscotti recipes This one intrigued me as it uses whole wheat rather than white flour and brown sugar rather than white Though I have not yet made these, thought it was worth sharing , Oh my goodness this biscotti is DIVINE! To die for with a cup of coffee I omitted the fruits and they were still fabulous, though I did have to bake them about ten minutes longer to acheive the perfect crispiness Thank you so much!, AMAZING! used dates and walnuts i also used no butter instead used some mashed bananas and applesauce i also only used egg whites and not as much brown sugar they stll came out great and can eat them guilt free! i left them a little chewy because i like them better that way
