If you are much like everyone I know; and still not ready for Christmas, why not bake your presents?
These biscotti are made from yellow cake mix to make holiday baking even easier. Throw in some chopped craisins, orange zest, and drizzle with white chocolate to make them extra festive.
I have resolved to bake everyone a little something this year, because in my opinion there is nothing better than receiving a gift that is homemade and crafted with love.
