If a cookie and a cup of espresso had a rebellious child, it would be this chocolate coffee biscotti. Crunchy, bold, and unapologetically caffeinated, these twice-baked beauties dunk beautifully into your morning coffee. Sweet, bitter, and loaded with rich cocoa, they deliver the perfect balance of chocolatey depth and espresso punch. Eat them like an adult—paired with coffee—or snack on them straight from the jar like a feral gremlin. Either way, resistance is futile. If you like your desserts crunchy, coffee-infused, and just a little bit dangerous, get your oven ready.
