Dark Chocolate Almond Biscotti

Slightly sweet and perfectly crunchy, this Dark Chocolate Almond Biscotti tastes like it straight out of Italy. It’s the best afternoon pick-me-up with a cup of coffee. And the homemade version? SO much better than store-bought!

If you haven’t had homemade biscotti before, you haven’t really had biscotti! The flavor is fresher and the texture is fantastically crisp without the feeling that you’re eating a stale cookie, like some packaged versions. This Dark Chocolate Almond Biscotti isn’t overly sweet and it has a nice crunch, but when you dunk them in coffee they just soak it up and become moist. Then add in the dark chocolate, which literally melts in your mouth as you’re eating it. De-lish!
