Make Biscotti with a Cake Mix

We made a coconut biscotti with shredded coconut and chocolate chips. So, for our recipe we used a box coconut cake mix and shredded coconut as a mix-in. But you can substitute a vanilla or chocolate cake mix as well as any type of extracts as well. Certain extracts are a bit more potent so be careful if you are using lemon, mint, and orange.
