Make this Candy Bar Biscotti that goes great with a cup of coffee and conversation with friends!
Coffee mugs. Check. Plates, napkins, spoons. Check. Check. Coffee Sweetener, milk & creamer. Check. Candy Bar Biscotti for dunking or just enjoying! Triple Check.
The table is set, the coffee brewing, the candy bar biscotti is plated and now I am just waiting for the door to open.
When the door opens my friends will come looking for two things a great cup of coffee and good conversation, and in exactly that order! There’s nothing sweeter than curling up on the couch with a good cup of coffee made just right and sweet friends to chat with!
Through the years, our conversations have changed as we have grown from being single to married to married with kids! Now that we are all Moms we talk about the good, the bad and the ugly things that we face throughout our days! We have settled into a sweet coffee routine surrounded by great friendship!
Shopping trips with toddlers, volunteering at school, juggling home life with a full-time job, and finding sweet moments to just relax! Sharing coffee and conversation with friends are one of the moments that I would place in the relax category!
I am a huge fan of biscotti and have perfected my recipe over time! With the base recipe perfected I play around with all of the yummy combinations I can think of! One of my favorite biscotti to serve my friends is my candy bar biscotti! You can use any kind of candy bar-choose your favorite and stir it in!
ShopRite had everything I needed to entertain my friends! We go through lots of coffee and so I pull out all the stops including using my Keurig to make the delicious, bold brew of Cafe Bustelo, Truvia Natural Sweetener adds the sweetness, and Land O Lakes Half and Half makes the coffee tastes creamy!
There is a great deal going on now when you buy 2 participating coffee products and 1 participating creamer and get a free box of Truvia Natural Sweetener 40ct now thru 3/12, while supplies last!!
I set the table beforehand so that I can also make my mug of coffee, grab a biscotti (or two) and sit and enjoy the time with my friends! There’s nothing quite like that first sip of coffee and Cafe Bustelo creates the perfect first sip with it’s smooth, rich taste!
