I have written here before about Approved Food, an online discounted food provider, and the fact that I often purchase things here to help keep our food spending under control.
Well awhile ago they had large bags of chocolate cake mix (think restaurant size) for sale. For 99 pence ($1.50) I could purchase enough mix to make 6 chocolate cakes!
Too good to pass up even though I usually cook from scratch and don't use mixes. But this would be great for fast desserts when I needed something to fill out a meal of leftovers.
Well, last night was such a night.
Not having the freezer has meant that any leftovers have to be eaten now. They can not be frozen to pull out later.
Dinner last night was to be the leftover meatless cheeseburger soup I had made on Saturday and bread. I decided something sweet would help round out the very basic meal.
Chocolate almond biscotti was what I decided to make since I had made them once before and Mike specifically mentioned that they would be nice to have again sometime.
They are easy and turn out better than my scratch ones when I use the cake mix to make them. I wish I knew why my scratch ones don't quite make it but I haven't figured that out yet.
Anyhow here is all you have to do to have yummy chocoate biscotti:
