Almond Biscotti

I tried this recipe for almond biscotti last night and my husband has devoured half the batch already! He is of Danish descent and loves anything with almond flavoring but I think the raw chopped almonds and brandy were the "secret" ingredients that won him over. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
