Saturday evening at home!
Where is nothing better than relaxation after long week, spending evening with beloved husband and slightly chilled rose wine. Relaxing, laughing, watching movie and tasting biscotti cantuccini along with glass of wine! That is a really nice combination and delight your palate.

This time I have tried to make biscotti cantuccini with almonds and a splash of dark rum. Haven't used rum before for biscotti. You know, cantuccini turned out great! The dark rum gives a special flavour. You don't need a lot, just a little splash and your patisserie will be highly evaluated. Actually I do use rum in most of my bakings (small amounts of course), we just love the taste given by rum.
But that's not only about rum but about the most important - preparation for Christmas! Since we tasted biscotti, liked them very much (with rum) and so... decided to make a big batch! This job is waiting to be done next week. Small lovely pretty sweet presents will be created to friends and family members and the people we know... Canny wait, I just love making these tasty tinny gifts! Love to receive presents but the most what I love is the way of giving presents for whose I love!
There are lots and lots of recipes but I follow up this one for baking biscotti cantuccini.
