Used different ingredients. I used 2 tablespoons of milk instead of egg whites, chopped glacé cherries instead of cranberries and Splenda as opposed to sugar. I will definitely buy some sugar for them next time as they weren't quite as sweet as my testers would have liked, but it was brilliant to make and the result is almost perfect! :D - 25 Sep 2010
These are lovely! Really easy to make and look really good. I have brought some cellophane bags and I am going to make some more to give to people for Chirstmas! - 12 Dec 2008
Used different ingredients. This is so easy (for biscotti). I added 1 t. cinnamon and 1/2 t nutmeg, and used dried instead of fresh cranberrys. This was a welcome recipe that I didn't have to struggle with broken pices at all. - 21 Jul 2008
