Combining deep, rich chocolate with tart dried cherries, these Double Chocolate Cherry Biscotti are the perfect sweet treat for coffee lovers.










Is your sweetheart a coffee lover?  Or are you maybe looking for a sweet treat that your co-workers would appreciate being left by the break room coffee maker Valentine's Day morning?









Not that you need anyone to make these Double Chocolate Cherry Biscotti for.  ;) You could totally bake up a batch of these and keep them for yourself.









Not a coffee fan?  They would be tasty dunked in a mug of hot chocolate or a tall glass of cold milk.









These biscotti have a deep, rich chocolate flavor.  And combine that with the tart dried cherries?  Perfection, folks. 










I used candy melts to dip the biscotti in.  I have to admit- since discovering candy melts I have got pretty lazy with my chocolate and candy dipping.  









They are pretty foolproof- it is difficult to make this dipping chocolate seize up.  Just microwave and stir.  Plus, they set up so quickly.  No waiting for hours or refrigerating them to get the chocolate to set up all the way!









If you are not sure where to find them, check one of your local craft stores.  Mine has them in all kinds of flavors and colors-perfect for any occasion, holiday, or season.









Candy melts are pretty much my new obsession. ;)
If you have a recipe for a homemade dipping chocolate that you love, feel free to use that instead.  









But don't knock the candy melts until you give them a try...

I sent some of these delicious biscotti to my Instagram Valentine's exchange partner & she loved them! I also wrapped up a few in pretty red hearts cellophane and shared them with my sister and mom.  And of course, I kept some on hand for my morning coffee. ;)








So, who will you be baking a batch of these fabulous biscotti for?  (And it is perfectly okay to say for yourself.  I won't judge you. ;) )
