How to Make Almond Chocolate Biscotti Using Cake Mix
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine: 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, ½ cup chocolate syrup, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Stir in 1 cup slivered almonds and ½ cup mini chocolate chips.
- Divide the dough in half.
- On the prepared baking sheets, shape each portion into a 12-inch long, 2-inch wide log.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch.
- Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 15 minutes.
- Transfer logs to a cutting board.
- Using a serrated knife, carefully cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Place the biscotti, cut-side down, back onto the baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- While biscotti are baking, prepare the drizzle: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt ½ cup vanilla chips and 2 tablespoons shortening. Stir until smooth.
- Once biscotti are completely cool, drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
- Let the drizzle harden completely before storing.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
