Chocolate Dipped Almond Anise Biscotti image

This wonderful tasting biscotti that is already on the lean side can be made diabetic friendly very easily. P.S. I should mention that if your not a dunker you'll want to bake these for a shorter time (maybe 20 mins the first time and 5 the second time).
