Espresso Salted Dark Chocolate Biscotti -extra crunchy, perfect for coffee dunking!

I’m not usually one to choose biscotti as a dessert of choice.  Often times, they are dry, super hard and not all that flavorful.  These biscotti here, they are a different story.  The rich dark chocolate and espresso salt ensure that every bite is full of flavor.  And yes they are very crunchy, but that just makes them perfect for dunking into coffee, milk or even hot chocolate.  This is a biscotti I can get behind!
