Hello, I decided on this Almond Mocha Biscotti recipe today. This one has less carbohydrates than the one from yesterday. I think you could put those sugar free chocolate round candies from the bulk area at Cos-Co in. But I would chop them coarsely first and you have to remember the carb count will change a little. If you would like me to figure the nutrition facts with them in, I can do some investigating and find out for you. Just e-mail me and ask.Well thats all for today. Enjoy!

*Mocha Biscotti*
Hello, I'm back. I chose these biscotti's because they aren't very hard to make, and I really like coffee flavored desserts. When I was a little girl (long, long ago:) I was given a slice of cake that taste like coffee. I have loved that flavor every since then. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. Because I'm a diabetic, I do substitute the sugar with my favorite sugar substitute so the carbs are lower. The less carbs the better. Enjoy!

1/4 Cup hazelnuts, toasted & coarsely Chopped
3 large eggs
1 Tsp vanilla extract
