Ingredients:
8 ounces (squares) semi-sweet baking chocolate, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Makes 3 dozen biscotti

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a baking sheet. Chop six of the chocolate squares; set aside. Mix flour, baking soda and salt together. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well after each addition. Add chopped chocolate, cranberries and pecans. Stir until well blended. Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured board, schape each half into a 14x1x1/2-inch log. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheet 15 minutes. Place logs on cutting board, and with a serrated knife, cut each log diagonally into 18 3/4-inch slices. Place slices 1/2 inch apart on baking sheet. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until slightly dry. Remove to wired racks. Cool completely. Melt remaining 2 chocolate squares, following instructions on package. Drizzle over biscotti. Let stand until chocolate is firm.
