Milk Chocolate and Walnut Mandel Bread (Mandelbrot)

[bravelyforwardhangingon]

Passover baking!

Mandelbread (kind of like biscotti) and macaroons (with/without chocolate chips).

My mom's macaroons recipe is egg whites and sugar and coconut, so they're more like marshmallow coconut meringues. So chewy and yummy.

Me:

Me:

Me: How long does it take to make? Do you have the ingredients? Can I make some right now?

Me: *immediately starts making mandelbread*
