Easy Gingerbread Biscotti

I haven't baked a lot of different things this season, but I've made plenty of Biscotti. One of our current favorites is this Easy Gingerbread Biscotti. It's a simple biscotti recipe that is neither too hard nor too crumbly, nor too spicy and not too sweet. It's perfect dipped in white chocolate or my new find, Candiquick.

Now Candiquik is a whole different subject. I'd never seen it up until last week when I was shopping at a different grocery store in a different town. Based on what I read it has a loyal following because it's easy to work with and sets up nicely. The taste part is subtle. I don't care for the chocolate flavor, but the white Candiquik is good -- at least good enough for dipping biscotti in. And I do like how it comes in a handy microwave-safe disposable tray which is the perfect shape for dipping biscotti.

All that being said, you can skip the Candiquik and use any icing or just leave it off completely.

This is a solid gingerbread biscotti recipe, and my family really enjoys it. If you are looking for one that is crunchier (harder) and spicier, I recommend Fine Cooking's recipe.
