EARTHLY EATING

CHOCOLATE-CHIP MANDEL BREAD

Each month, we bring you delicious, nutritious, and eco-friendly recipes that our staff members love! This month’s Earthly Eating recipe is recommended by the EWT’s Head of Marketing, Sizie Modise, and it is her sister in law, Tracey Heldenmuth’s, Chocolate-chip Mandel Bread 

What is it?

Like biscotti, Mandel bread is crunchy. However, it’s made with more fat than biscotti, so the resulting cookie is a bit richer and less dry. You don’t need to dip it in coffee or tea to enjoy it – it’s delicious all on its own.
