Sometimes there’s a story behind a recipe. Actually there’s always a story because otherwise there would be no blog post. But this one is quite simple.

I wanted biscotti. I decided to make biscotti. I looked in my cupboards to see what I had. I had coconut and white chocolate. So I made coconut and white chocolate biscotti.

Told you it was simple ;).

These biscotti were amazing. If you love coconut, you’ll never be able to stop eating them. Just the smell is to die for. The flavor is perfect with strong, dark coffee! Oh, with mochas too! Yum 🙂
