Chocolate Chip Bread I
This is a different kind of bread that the entire family can enjoy anytime of the day. It has plenty of chocolate chips and just a hint of cinnamon.
Anisette Biscotti
My great-great-aunt Josie created this recipe and handed it down through the family. The anise seed and anisette give it an authentic Italian flavor. A bit labor intensive, but they are so worth it! Great for dunking in tea or coffee, or just munching on. I double the recipe and give them out for Christmas every year.
Fudgy Black Forest Bars
These fudgy Black Forest bars are a decadent dessert that is somewhere between brownie and cake, loaded with chocolate and bathed in cherries. They're fabulous with coffee.
