We all get that craving from time to
time for something a little sweet. This Gluten-Free (and nearly yeast-free) Almond
Biscotti recipe is not only a sweet treat, but because of its ingredients, it's
healthy, too! The combination of healthy fats from the almonds and pistachios,
paired with the antioxidants in the cacao nibs, give you the sweetness you
crave, with the dose of healthy your body needs. Enjoy!
