How To Make chocolate peanut butter cup biscotti

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 
  Step 2
  Chocolate dough: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa. Set aside.
• 
  Step 3
  Cream together butter and sugar.
• 
  Step 4
  Add eggs one at a time; mixing well after each addition.
• 
  Step 5
  Add 1/3 of the flour mixture at a time to the creamed mixture mixing well after each addition.
• 
  Step 6
  The dough will be stiff.
• 
  Step 7
  For peanut butter dough: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• 
  Step 8
  Cream together peanut butter and sugar.
• 
  Step 9
  Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition.
• 
  Step 10
  Mix in 1/3 of flour mixture at a time, mixing well after each addition. Note: You may not have to add all of the flour. Dough will be dry.
• 
  Step 11
  If it is too dry and crumbly, knead in a tablespoon (more or less) of water until the dough just comes together.
• 
  Step 12
  Divide both the chocolate and the peanut butter dough into 2 equal halves.
• 
  Step 13
  On a floured surface (I use cocoa), shape half of the chocolate dough into a flat rectangle, about 15 inches long and 5 inches wide.
• 
  Step 14
  Shape peanut butter dough into a log, a little shorter than the chocolate log, and about 2-3 inches wide.
• 
  Step 15
  Place in the middle of the chocolate log and gently fold the chocolate dough up over the peanut butter dough.
• 
  Step 16
  You want to wrap the peanut butter dough completely with the chocolate dough. Repeat with the other dough.
• 
  Step 17
  Place the 2 logs on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• 
  Step 18
  Flatten slightly. You want a log about 15 inches long, 4 inches wide and 1 - 1 1/2 inches high.
• 
  Step 19
  Bake 30 - 35 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
• 
  Step 20
  Remove from oven to a cooling rack and cool for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
• 
  Step 21
  Slice diagonally into 1/2" - 3/4" slices.
• 
  Step 22
  Place slices on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake a second time for 20-25 minutes.
• 
  Step 23
  Remove from baking sheet to a cooling rack and cool completely.
• 
  Step 24
  Melt coating chocolate according to package directions.
• 
  Step 25
  Coat one side of cooled biscotti with the chocolate.
• 
  Step 26
  Allow to set. (If you prefer, you could drizzle the chocolate over the biscotti.)
