I love pumpkins. This time of the year, I am all over Halloween and pumpkins. These easy biscotti cookies are a real treat for this time of year.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

With the smell of fall, the aroma while these pumpkin spice biscotti are baking is wonderful. We enjoyed this fall twist on an Italian cookie. Using a spice cake mix helps to cut down on the preparation steps. Adding canned pumpkin and pumpkin spice adds a nice depth of pumpkin flavor to the cookies. The nutty pecans add a bit of crunch. Drizzling with melted colored chocolate adds to the pumpkin feel of the biscotti.
