Hail to thee, Queen of Scones! ;) This is another perfect scones recipe from your collection! It is sweet, chocolatey, full of flavour and just pure yummy! The texture is lovely, with a crispy crust on top and a soft, flaky interior! I made half the recipe and decided to cut them into rounds as I prefer scones that way. I ended up with 8 scones, which were gone in no time. :) Since I really wanted to make your recipe, but somehow didnt have sour cream on hand, I used cream cheese, which worked out nicely. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this gem with us! I will surely make it again!

We made this together quartering the recipe for Buddha's chocolate fix this morning. We made as directed but for shaping, we make a rectangle shape for the dough and then cut in half diagonally to create 2 large scones. This is very easy to put together. Very good flavor and texture. Thanks for posting.
