    Tonia’s Notes

    Ice skating and snacks.

    Last weekend, some of our friends made a last-minute trip to Minnesota. We were super excited to see them and took advantage of the great weather by going ice skating. The fun outdoor rink we went to is made up of three ponds connected by meandering canals. There is a large, heated building with an outdoor fireplace, but we spent our time outside skating. I brought along a carafe of hot cocoa and a bunch of chocolate chip biscotti to share.

    It was such a fun evening. Everyone loved the hot chocolate and biscotti. We enjoyed the snack while sitting on benches alongside the skating rink. All of the kids were asking to go again the next day!

    How To Make Chocolate Chip Biscotti

    Mixing batter with a stand mixer.

    To make the chocolate chip biscotti with marshmallows, beat the eggs and sugars for about 3 minutes until thickened. Beat in the melted butter and vanilla. Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallow bits.

    Forming loaves with the dough.

    Cover a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Take half of the dough from the bowl and form into a log shape that measures about 10 inches by 3 inches on the silicone mat. Then, do the same for the second half of the dough, leaving at least 3 inches between the logs.

    Slicing chocolate chip biscotti.

    Bake at 350˚F for 20-25 minutes until golden on the outside. (The center will still be soft.) Turn the oven down to 300˚F. Allow the logs to cool on the cookie sheets for 10 minutes. Then, carefully move them to a cutting board and cut them into 1/2 to 3/4-inch slices using diagonal cuts with a serrated knife.

    Lay the slices on the cookie sheet, at least ½ inch apart, with the cut side down. Bake at 300˚F for 17-22 minutes, until crisp and brown.

    Allow the biscotti to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, and then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the biscotti with melted chocolate and sprinkle with mini marshmallow bits.

    Storage

    Cool them completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or up to three months in the freezer.

    • Airtight Container: Biscotti softens when you store them in an airtight container since the container traps moisture. If you want to make them crisp again, you can return them to the oven to bake at 300˚F for 8-12 minutes.
    • Other Options: You can also use a container that is not airtight, such as a cookie tin. Or only partially seal the container of your choice. That way, the moisture can escape, and the biscotti may stay crispier.
    • Freezer: To freeze the chocolate chip biscotti, place them in an airtight, freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers. To defrost them, remove them from the container and thaw them at room temperature.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use regular mini marshmallows to make this biscotti?

    No, you need to use Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Bits. They are dehydrated and will not expand or melt while baking like regular marshmallows do.

    Can I make them without the marshmallows?

    Yes, you can skip the marshmallow bits if you prefer.

      Incredible flavor! I make biscotti all the time and have been looking for a rocky road biscotti. I modified yours a bit to get that flavor without adding cocoa to the mix which sometimes can dry out the batter in not a good way. I melted marshmallows to drizzle in top of the melted chocolate, yum!

      These would be so much fun to make with my kids! I’m sure a lot of the mini marshmallows would mysteriously disappear, but it’s be such a fun snow day activity!

      Now you’ve got me wondering what happens to the marshmallows when they are baked. Do they melt into the dough leaving a sweet crunch? I’ll have to try these to find out. Oh the things I do for “research.” 🙂
