Chocolate Dipped Coconut Biscotti

These coconut biscotti dipped in dark chocolate are crunchy and delicious, and are perfect for dunking in coffee or cocoa. 

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for McCafé packaged coffee. I received product samples as well as a monetary promotional incentive to thank me for my participation.

Although I don't like getting up in the morning, I'm definitely more of a morning person than a night owl. I can barely stay up past 10:30 most days! Once I get up and moving I'm good to go, and I enjoy starting the day off slowly by checking my email and having a cup of coffee. One thing is for sure, I am definitely addicted to coffee and can't live without it!

If I'm out an about in the morning I typically swing by McDonald's for a McCafé coffee. {I love the McCafé Caramel Mocha and their iced coffees!} Whatever drink I choose, it always puts me in a good mood and gets my day off to a great start.

Each year for as long back as I can remember, my mom and I have had a holiday cookie baking day. We each gather our favorite recipes, some new, some old, and spend an entire day in the kitchen together. When my boys were younger this included them as well, rolling out and decorating their beloved sugar cookies. Now that they've gotten older they don't help as much, but I still get them in the kitchen a little by bribing them with treats. Don't judge, it works! 

I love making something special for my mom and I to drink and snack on as we bake away. Some years it was hot chocolate and doughnuts, others it was coffee and a homemade coffee cake, but this year I created something new. I made us Caramel Macchiatos with Double Chocolate Biscotti! The biscotti are chocolaty, crunchy, and perfect for dunking in the creamy, caramely Macchiato. YUM!

I'm definitely a sweet breakfast kind of person. Don't get me wrong, I love eggs or a good omelet from time to time, but on any given day I would cheese pancakes, waffles, doughnuts, etc. over the savory choices.

I also love to have sweets with my cup of morning coffee, as do many others. I've been known to pull out a slice of cake or brownie and have it for breakfast. (I know, I know, that's not good!) But I just can't help myself.

Happy November 1st! Can you believe it's already November? I certainly can't. This year is flying by!

And you know what that means right? 27 days until Thanksgiving. And only 54 days until Christmas! Oi vey! I am totally not ready for the holidays yet.


This month our Blogger Recipe Challenge theme is, you guessed it, Holiday Recipes. 10 recipes from each of our 10 members, no repeats! This is great for you folks! You can get everything you need for your holiday meals right here on our pages.
