    List of Ingredients


    • 2 cups flour
    • 1 1/2 tsp. Calumet Baking Powder
    • 1/4 tsp. slat
    • 2/3 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, softened
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 ripe banana, mashed
    • 1 tsp. vanilla
    • 1 1/2 cups Post Selects Banana Nut Crunch Cereal, crushed
    • 1 square Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate


    Instructions


    1. PREHEAT oven to 325 F. Mix flour, baking powder and salt until well blended; set aside. Beat sugar and maragarine in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, bananas and vanilla; beat until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until well blended after each addition. Stir in crushed cereal.
    2. DIVIDE dough in half with floured hands; place on lightly floured surface. Roll each half into 14x2-inch log. Place, 2 inches apart, on nonstick baking sheet.

Place, cut-sides up and 1/2 inch apart, on same baking sheet. Bake an additional 12 to 15 min. or until slightly dry. Remove to wire racks; cool completely. Melt chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over biscotti. Let stand until chocolate is firm. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.
