Frequently Asked Questions
Can I decrease the amount of sugar used in this biscotti recipe?
If you prefer your biscotti to be less sweet than most, you can half the sugar used in this recipe. However, we do not advise removing the sugar entirely as the unsweetened cocoa powder is very bitter. Sugar balances this out and brings out the chocolaty taste we all know and love.
