Italian treats covered with chocolate

ingredients

3 eggs
1 c sugar
1/2 c vegetable oil
3 1/3 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 c nuts
1 pkg semi-sweet chocolate pieces

directions

Prepare biscotti dough

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat eggs very well. Add sugar and beat together. Add oil and beat further.
2
Add flour, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and nuts. Mix well. Dough will be very, very sticky.

Bake biscotti

1
Spray Pam onto cookie sheet. Pour dough onto cookie sheet, forming into 3 loaves. The loaves will spread--this is normal.
2
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. While warm, slice each loaf about 1 inch thick. If cool, the loaves will be brittle.

Broil, then cover in chocolate

1
Lay slices on their sides and broil until brown on each side. Do not put on top rack. Keep a close eye on this as it takes only a matter of seconds.
2
Melt chocolate in double boiler and spread on biscotti with pastry brush.

notes

I got this recipe from Lauraleen while I was staying with her when she was recovering from surgery. I tweaked her recipe to add the chocolate and nuts and it is delectable!
