You Won’t Believe the Delicious Flavor of These Salted Caramel Pecan Chocolate Biscotti – You Have to Try Them!

If you’re a fan of sweet and crunchy treats, you’ll love our Salted Caramel Pecan Chocolate Biscotti. Biscotti, a traditional Italian cookie, has become a popular snack in the US. Our unique flavor combines the delicious taste of salted caramel, the crunch of pecans, and the decadence of chocolate.

Originating from the Tuscan region of Italy, Biscotti is traditionally served with vin santo, a sweet dessert wine. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, biscotti began to gain popularity in the US, with many coffee shops and cafes offering biscotti as a tasty accompaniment to coffee or tea.

Our recipe starts with one cup of almond meal, then we add Belgian chocolate chunks, giving the biscotti a rich and decadent chocolate flavor. We then add whole pecans that are toasted in our kitchen and crushed, adding a satisfying crunch to every bite. But the real star of the show is the salted caramel chips. The smooth and creamy caramel flavor is perfectly balanced with a hint of salt, making it an irresistible snack. Each biscotti is baked to perfection to create a crispy, crunchy cookie, making it the perfect complement to a cup of coffee or tea.

The Story Behind Chocolate Pecan & Salted Caramel Biscotti

A lot of people ask me how I come up with biscotti flavors and names for biscotti like Chocolate Pecan & Salted Caramel Biscotti. First, I’m Italian from Calabria, and we tend to be literal in our translations: meaning the name of the biscotto is what is in the biscotti.

It was back in 2021 and I was on Facebook sharing photos of my new creation — I was playing with chocolate, caramel, pecans, and sea salt. One of my friends nudged me and said, “Hey, you should create a turtle biscotti.” That’s when it hit me: combine those ingredients into a biscotti. And just like that, Chocolate Pecan & Salted Caramel Biscotti was born.

1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup salted caramel baking chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond meal, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Fold in the salted caramel chips, chocolate chunks, and toasted pecans.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place both logs on the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and firm. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). Slice each log diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. Place slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.

Salted Caramel Biscotti FAQ

Can I make these biscotti without nuts?

Yes. Replace the pecans with an equal amount of pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds. The texture will stay crunchy and the caramel flavor will still shine.

What if I cannot find salted caramel chips?

Use soft caramel candies chopped into small pieces and add a small pinch of flaky salt to the dough. You can also swirl in 2 tablespoons of jarred caramel after mixing the dry ingredients.

How do I keep biscotti crisp?

Bake the second time until the centers feel dry to the touch. Let them cool fully on a rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Do not refrigerate. We do not recommend freezing, since it can dull the texture.

Can I dip or drizzle with chocolate?

Yes. Melt chocolate and dip the ends or drizzle thin lines over the cooled biscotti. Let the chocolate set before storing.

How do I get clean slices without crumbling?

Let the first bake cool for about 10 minutes. Use a sharp serrated knife and cut with a gentle sawing motion. If pieces crumble, allow a longer cool time.
