White Chocolate Dipped Cinnamon and Banana Bread Biscotti

I have had this starred on my google reader for awhile now so last week I made it for my family a few days before Thanksgiving. The cinnamon chips were a bit elusive but I finally tracked them down, and it was worth all the searching! They are so good!
