I am posting one of my favorite new recipes.

You seriously have to try it unless you are a scone hater. I mean, is it just me or are scones notorious for being dry and bland? The people who think that have obviously never had a good scone.

My family loves scones but I usually just do basic. This time we needed a serious chocolate fix so went for triple chocolate and the results pretty much speak for themselves.

These scones were a hit. We all agreed that they somehow taste exactly like chocolate pop-tarts, but better. Not sure how that happened but I am just gonna go with it. They’re like chocolate chip filled chocolate pop-tarts which basically equals perfection in my book.

I love how easy it is to make scones with a food processor. It does feel a little bit like cheating but it saves so much time and frustration. I think I use my food processor everyday. I pretty much love that thing.

If you have either sworn off scones bacause of too many nasty dry ones or have just never really tried them then you must. Really, because these will change your entire opinion about the scone world.
