Chocolate and Hazelnut Biscotti
I love Biscotti and these Chocolate and Hazelnut Biscotti are great for dunking into coffee.
They can also be served on the side of another chocolate dessert as an accompaniment and at only 84 calories per biscuit they are just the perfect treat any time of the day.

Nice and low-fat too!
