Biscotti Wedding Favors

Biscotti wedding favors are a unique way to honor romance in the form of a cookie.  But first, you may be wondering, "What is biscotti?"  It is a long, thick nut flavored biscuit originally baked in Italy.  Biscotti history tells us it is a traditional Italian wedding cookie and it's name means twice baked because that is exactly what happens to it.  The dough is baked the first time in a log shape, and then it is sliced and baked again.  This creates a crunchy, hard cookie that Italians love to dunk in coffee, wine and many other beverages.  It is usually baked with almonds, but can be made with other nuts instead. Available in a variety of flavors including cherry, banana, or apricot makes them appeal to everyone in good taste.

Biscotti wedding favors, anyone?

Today, this traditional cookie can be dipped in chocolate and hand-decorated to become a perfect wedding favor.  Any photo or text can be printed on the chocolate to make a unique, personalized cookie.  This lends a contemporary or modern twist to a traditional biscotti cookie.

Celebrating elegance.
When favors are grouped together, the impact of the treats together becomes a decoration in itself. This presentation becomes more elegant with the addition of flowers and tablecloth.
