Coconut Walnut Biscotti image

A delicious biscotti. I made this one year and took a bag to my granddaughter's basketball game. My daughter and granddaughter ate it all on the way home. They both just loved it. The kids all ask for it when they come home for Christmas. They also like us to bring some when we visit. It travels well.
