Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti

1 box Pillsbury® Dark Chocolate Cake Mix

Candy canes, crushed

In a medium sized bowl, mix together the cake mix, flour, butter, eggs, and peppermint oil until well combined. Place dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and shape into a 12 x 4 inch log. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 15 minutes, then cut the log into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange slices on the parchment lined baking sheet with their sides up. Bake for another 10 minutes. Cool completely.

Place 1/2 can of the frosting in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 30 second or until the frosting is melted. Pipe or dip the frosting over top of the cooled biscotti and sprinkle with the crushed candy canes. Enjoy!
