Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 375F. Line a large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Cut in 1/3 cup cold butter, using a pastry blender until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

2. In a small bowl, gently stir cream, 1/4 cup marmalade and vanilla until mixed. Make a well in center of crumb mixture; add cream mixture to well. Stir with fork until crumb mixture is moistened and dough is sticky. Gently stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips. Form dough into a ball.

3. On a well floured surface, roll or pat dough into a 9" round, 3/4" thick. Using a knife dipped in flour, cut dough into 12 wedges. Place 1" apart on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake 14-18 mins or until edges are set. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool for 30 mins.

4. In a small microwavable bowl, microwave baking chocolate uncovered on high for 30 secs until softened; stir until smooth. Drizzle diagonally over scones.

5. In a small bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter and powdered sugar with fork until light and fluffy. Stir in 2 tbsp marmalade. Serve with scones.
