Cranberry Orange Biscotti

I found a small piece of heaven when I tasted this delightful biscotti.  Oh my! The flavors of the orange zest and cranberries together are wonderful on their own but when you add that drizzled white chocolate, well, you’ll just have to make a batch on your own to find out. I’m not sharing mine! As with the Snickerdoodle Biscotti, this recipe is from Shugary Sweets. Take a look around her site, you’ll fall in love with it as I have.
