How to Make Eric Mccormack's Amazing Chocolate Almond Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two heavy-duty baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, flour, melted butter, eggs, and almond extract.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, or until a smooth dough forms.
  4. Stir in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Transfer the dough to one of the prepared baking sheets. Shape the dough into a 13-inch long log, approximately 3 inches wide.
  6. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the log cool on the baking sheet for 35 minutes.
  8. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  9. Arrange the biscotti slices, cut-side down, on both prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
  10. Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  11. Reduce the oven temperature to 200°F (95°C).
  12. Continue baking for 40 minutes, or until the biscotti are completely dry and crisp.
  13. Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack.
  14. (Optional) Melt the dark or white chocolate. Dip the bottom of each biscotti into the melted chocolate and place them back onto the wire rack until the chocolate sets.
  15. Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature.
