Orange Cranberry Biscotti

This recipe is adpated from Little Corner of Mine. It is a very very very nice recipe. Me and Shan had baked 8 batches in total, as mention earlier it took us 8 hours to complete this "project". It is not as hard as the traditional biscotti, so it can be eaten on its own without dipping it into your coffee. But of course with a cup of coffee, it will be the best. I had personally like it very much because of the refreshing taste. It's taking a break from all your chocolate and more chocolate. Enjoy...
