I was looking for something "different" to do with the glut of cake mixes I have, and I was SURE this would go over well with everyone because they generally like chocolate and they generally like biscotti-type cookies, but it just didn't... I'm really not quite sure why. It was very hard to shape them into logs, because the dough was SO sticky. I should have taken them out of the oven a little sooner, too, because even though they weren't firm when I DID take them out, they wound up being too hard in the end. I used sliced almonds instead of slivered, because that's what I had on hand. It was worth a try, though — thanks for posting!

Very good and easy. I was given a ton of cake mixes and it was great to be able to use it for something other than cake or cupcakes. I didn't have any chocolate syrup so I substituted hazelnut flavored coffee syrup and chopped hazelnuts for the almonds. Very nice blend of flavors.

I forgot to rate this one! This is the second time I'm making this recipe (made once before for the tag-a-thon).... I loved these! They are so easy to make and they last in an airtight container for weeks! Great recipe - this time, I'm subbing the almonds for walnuts - Yum!

These were my very first biscottis and I was more than a little nervous, but with Kitten's easy and helpful instructions, they came out fantastic! Thank you Kitten for sharing this great recipe! Due to a mistake on my part, I will post the pic I have a little later.
