Twice-baked cookies are the staple food of coffee enthusiasts, hot-chocolate lovers, teapeople, and tigers, to whom nothing goes better with gazelle juice than a crunchy, almondy biscotti. For $20, today's Groupon gets you a 45-piece biscotti and peanut cluster sampler (a $37 value) from Biscotti Twist. Biscotti Twist bakes creative, flavorful biscotti for many of Houston's coffee shops; this Groupon gets you a party-sized sampler shipped directly to your door. Shipping costs and tax are included with the cost of the Groupon.

The sampler includes 15 full-size biscotti, 20 biscotti bites, and 10 peanut clusters. A variety of Biscotti Twist's trademark flavors such as blueberry with white chocolate, chocolate chip and walnut, cranberry with pecan, and mixed berry will be included in the batch. Bring out biscotti when you offer guests coffee, snack on the sweet stuff every morning, or save a bite or two for an upcoming month-long spin in a huge clothing dryer; biscotti has an incredibly long shelf life (about a month) and will live even longer if it's frozen.

Biscotti Twist's creative tastes and attractive designs are inspired by the owner Vanessa's mother's age-old biscotti recipes. Vanessa honed her mother's craft for years, adding treats and innovative flavors, until she'd double-baked a slam dunk: deliciously coffee-complementary and without a stale aftertaste.
