Notes

Pecans: For the best flavor, use fresh, toasted pecans. Walnuts also work well if you’d like to try a variation.

Butterscotch chips: Roughly chop the chips for better distribution throughout the biscotti. Reserve a few for the optional drizzle.

Texture: These biscotti are meant to have lightly crisp edges and soft, chewy centers rather than the hard crunch of traditional biscotti.

Optional finish: Drizzle completely cooled biscotti with melted butterscotch and sprinkle with finely chopped toasted pecans.

Storage: Store completely cooled biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Freezing: Freeze undecorated biscotti in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and add the optional drizzle before serving.
