Step 8

Cut and bake again. Now, cut the logs at a sharp angle into long strips that are about 2 inches thick. Place them back on the baking sheet (without parchment paper) and bake for another 15-20 minutes at 330 degrees.

Step 9

Melt the chocolate. Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and then pour them into a loaf pan, which is long enough for the biscotti pieces.

Step 10

Dip the almond biscotti. When the biscotti has cooled, dip them in the chocolate and then place them on a sheet of wax paper to set. This will take a few hours. Then serve.
