Double Chocolate Biscotti

Happy Halloween!

This was Monday, when Charlie was watching Sandy roll in.

Right now we're giving out candy to the cute trick-or-treaters, sipping hot cider, and reminiscing about past Halloweens. I'm a little worried we're going to have a lot of candy left over, in addition to the cookies I made last night and the double chocolate biscotti the day before, as we were waiting for Sandy to hit.  I guess I've been in the baking mood, but bad timing with Halloween!
