Maple Butterscotch Biscotti
I decided that this biscotti is like a native biscotti to my province and country, maple syrup being a staple in many households in Quebec and Canada and so wonderful. We do have our own sugar shack and so, I usually have plenty of the stuff available.
This biscotti it not traditional, but it ends up being a biscotti you will make over and over again for its fabulous flavors and surprisingly scrumptious taste. I hope some of you try it and let me know how it turns out!
