Fruit Cake Biscotti is sponsored in conjunction with #christmascookies week. All opinions are my own.
Ah, fruit cake. That holiday day tradition that is beloved or hated. I don’t like store bought fruit cake, but homemade is a different store.
My aunt made some fruit cake cookies on year and I loved them, so I decided to try my hand at some fruit cake biscotti.
It is so colorful and flavorful and unique. You will need this recipe on your list to make this year.
