Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups chopped mixed candy bars (e.g., Snickers, Twix, or Milky Way)
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
Gently fold in the chopped candy bars and semi-sweet chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a rectangular log approximately 10 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the logs to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces. Place the slices cut-side down back onto the baking sheet.
Bake the sliced biscotti for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through baking, until they are dry and crisp.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
Enjoy the Candy Bar Biscotti with a cup of coffee or tea, or package them up as gifts for friends and family!
