I worked at an MSP that shared a coffee machine with another company's accounting department (long story, dont ask.) I was new, and on the early shift, so I started making coffee. One day there was a plate of the most AMAZING home made orange chocolate biscotti with a note that said "for the new guy that actually knows how to make coffee; la ringrazio tanto. Grandma's recipe."

I sometimes miss those cookies.

“I even made a super-traditional version, so Italians legally cannot get mad at me.”

I’ll take that bet.

"Italians legally can't get mad at me"

Bold words there, Babish.

Instant coffee granules in the chocolate biscotti and then dipped in dark and white chocolate is truly the Biscotti And Coffee Experience

I swear every time my bf and I think of something we want to try and make, magically one of your videos making exactly what we want to try appears from the heavens like "Here my children, let me guide you on your culinary journey." <3

I love making biscotti! Here are some of my favorite flavor combos I've tried

Plain dough:
lemon zest, lavender
cinnamon, cardamom, coffee
orange zest, cranberry, pistachio
candied pecans, bourbon

Chocolate dough:
coffee, dark choco chips
walnut, white and dark choco chips
orange zest, freeze dried raspberry
dark choco chips, salted caramel
peanut butter cups/chips

so many great options using the same recipe :D

Well done Babish. In italy the word biscotti is the perfect equivalent of the english word biscuits, or cookie. Every kind of biscuit in Italy is called biscotto [biscotti is for plural]. It's a generic term. This particular kind of biscotto, quite dry and almondish, is, as far as I know, a typical product of the Toscana region, where is called "cantuccio" and is served at the end of the lunch or dinner with some sweet wine. I think there also other places in Italy where you can find this kind of biscotto, or something similar, but obviously under specific, regional name.

I love how he was sponsored by a toothpaste this episode,

When he is making coffee’s favorite friend Biscotti, and he has a partnership with Trade Coffee.

When Babish made a double chocolate version and implied he was going to add something to it I fully expected a coating of chocolate because I have no faith in Andrew's sense of self-restraint.

Babish: "Biscotti"
Italians: "What kind of biscotti?"
Italians after watching the video: "Ah, he meant Cantuccini. Why didn't he say so?"

Idea for Binging: Chef Paulo’s sauce from the suite life of Zack and Cody. Specifically wondering what he’d do for the secret something for taste and the olive oil with a questionable past.

As a person with sensitive teeth, I thank Sensodyn for sponsoring this video. They've helped my sensitive teeth and helped Andrew present an enjoyable video of one of my favorite snacks. Not too often you get to double up like that. A word of advice to my fellow sensitive teeth sufferers, should your sensitivity persist, keep using the Sensodyn every time you brush and get off your butts and make time to go see your dentist before your problem gets worse! If you see your dentist early, you're much more likely to be able to handle the issue with only Sensodyn and treatment from your dentist. If you put things off, you're more likely to have the condition develop into a situation where the Sensodyn can't help and your dentist will have to spend a lot more time in your mouth.

I love when sensodyne sponsors Babish. As a teen I had gingivitis that hurt when I brushed with other toothpaste and sensitivity to anything with icing. Sensodyne got rid of both. I still have positive feelings about the toothpaste that essentially saved my teeth.

Since it's the 25th anniversary of Blue's Clues, make either Banana Muffins (but don't eat them) or Blue's birthday cake & cupcakes shaped like a paw print

Fun Fact: "Biscotti" is just Italian for "Cookies" and can be used for any kind of cookie in Italian. :)

[RealImpostor]

I'm always watching these videos when I'm hungry and craving food but too lazy to make it

[deanospimoniful]

I remember once trying to make maple pecan biscotti because I saw maple extract in the spice cabinet. It was my first time baking biscotti, so it was a little on the crumbly side.

"The Italians can't get mad at me..."

FAMOUS LAST WORDS ANDREW!

[CaptainGrief]

"I even made them super traditional so Italians legally can't get mad"

Jokes on you Babish, we call those Cantucci, Biscotti Is just Biscuits in Italian, didn't even have liquor with those, tsk tsk

Awesome work tho, I'd love to try the other two recipes
