Hi there,
I was at Trader Joes the other day and couldn’t resist buying a jar of salted carmel. Of course, I didn’t have the slightest idea what I was going to do with it. I went through my baking cabinet and found a box of Betty Crocker’s Cinnamon Streusel Muffin Mix. I thought, “Perfect! It isn’t pumpkin flavor.” I have become a little overwhelmed lately by the number of pumpkin products that have overtaken every other flavor of autumn. So, if you are in for a little bit of pumpkin rebellion, give these cookies a try.
These are super easy biscotti to make and are the perfect accompaniment, while watching the brilliant orange sunsets of an autumn afternoon, to tea, coffee, or a glass of red wine.
CINNAMON STRUESEL BISCOTTI
Ingredients
- 1 box of Betty Crocker’s Cinnamon Streusel Muffin Mix

Talk soon, 💕🎃 Bernadette

Biscotti are a favorite – I have many recipes but never used a muffin mix. They do sound delicious though! The family always wanted them to have with their morning coffee 🙂
Yum 😋 It’s all ways difficult to resist to salted caramel 😆😉 What a great combination with cinnamon and biscotti 😋
I’ll take salted caramel over pumpkin any day! What a delicious treat!

Wish I could reach in and grab a couple of them for my tea right now!! They look so crunch and GOOD!

It would be so much fun to have you to tea.
I know what you mean! It seems like everything right now is pumpkin pie spice!
When did that happen???? I certainly don’t remember everyone going crazy about it 10 years ago.
I’m not sure! People would mention that a recipe had a pumpkin spice flavor, but things weren’t titled Pumpkin Pie Spice Mashed potatoes! I think it started with Dunkin Donuts having all kinds of whipped cream topped pumpkin spice drinks, and even coffee!
Thank you, Bernadette. My grandmother used to make Struesel pie. These look yummy.
Hi Jen, do you want to share a story about your grandmother and the streusel pie recipe? I would love to publish it.
These biscuits look delicious, Bernadette, and quite easy to make too.
Mmmm, I love cinnamon any time of year. This is a really interesting and easy way to make biscotti, and I am all for the salted caramel, too! A word to the wise, just steer clear of Trader Joe’s during October. I love pumpkin spice but I still find that place a little overkill. 😂
That is exactly where the reaction came from🤯. Talk soon.
These look and sound delicious, Bern! When the pandemic shutdown first occurred, Todd got into the habit of making biscotti. We would enjoy them in the afternoon with espresso. He never ventured beyond lemon, orange cranberry, or almond chocolate chip, but they were all good. I will share this recipe with him and hope he takes the big hint!
And we have Starbucks to blame for the pumpkin pie spice craze. It all began with their pumpkin spice lattes. Dunkin soon followed suit, and now it seems to have influenced all kinds of food. Can we say overkill?
Thanks Elizabeth. I never thought about Starbucks being the culprit.
we don’t have pumpkin pie spice here but we do have lots of pumpkin in winter (which this is not). every cafe makes it into soup. your biscotti sound delightful.
Thanks so much Sherry for reading and taking the time to weigh in on the great pumpkin debate. Happy Halloween.
Love the ease of these biscotti – and with the salted caramel topping they sound delicious! I will definitely have to give these a try. I am not a big fan of the pumpkin-craze either but enjoy seeing these pumpkins 🎃 🎃 on Halloween! Have a wonderful day Bernadette 😊
Thanks Linda for stopping by and joining the pumpkin insurrection.
Yes so tired of pumpkin too! These sound perfect for anytime.
Thanks for joining the pumpkin rebellion!
