Sometimes baking isn’t a planned event but instead is brought about by a shopping experience. Just the other day I was at Whole Foods and found myself in the bakery section contemplating chocolate biscotti. I picked up the package of two chocolate dipped biscotti and found them to be around $4. I found myself in a battle between my craving for something sweet and rational thought which told me I could make many more biscotti for the same price.

I pulled out my iPhone and brought up the Epicurious app (filled with lots of great recipe ideas). I found many biscotti recipes and one of them was for chocolate walnut biscotti. I reviewed the ingredients and had everything at home except the chocolate chips. I went to the bulk aisle and bought what I needed for less than $4.
