Biscotti are unlike any other type of cookie. They’re twice-baked, extra crunchy, and perfect for dipping in coffee! Traditionally, they’re made with almonds, but you can use the same technique to make any biscotti flavor you want. Some popular additions include nuts, dried fruit, and my personal favorite: chocolate.

After I learned how to make biscotti, I wanted to come up with my own unique flavor. I soon discovered, however, that almost every combination has already been made. So, instead of sticking to the usual one or two add-ins, I decided to combine all of my favorite ingredients into one cookie! The finished result included pistachios, walnuts, cranberries, and chocolate chips – which also happen to be the ingredients of a good trail mix. That’s how I ended up calling this recipe “trail mix biscotti!”

If you’re looking for a tasty snack that isn’t too sweet, these trail mix biscotti are perfect. They’re nice and crunchy just like the traditional Italian treat! They also keep well, as long as you store them in an airtight container. That makes biscotti great as a gift!
