A few weeks ago, I got on a scone-making craze. I made one flavor, then another, and another one is on the agenda soon. They’re just so yummy- not too sweet but yet still fills that sweet craving. This one was my family’s favorite so far- what’s not to like about dark chocolate and toasted almonds?
I had my cute daughter Evie helping me with these, and we had so much fun! Both of my girls really enjoy helping me bake. Sometimes I’m tempted to say, “no” when they ask, but I’m never sorry when we get to spend the time together. Now Evie asks me to watch Pioneer Woman together- that’s something I definitely can’t refuse!
Hard to keep those little hands away!
I had not made scones in a while and they were so much easier than I remembered. I rolled these out and cut them into triangles, but you can roll them into small balls to make them even easier.
We had so much fun making these and I can’t wait to make more!
Are you a scone person? What’s your favorite flavor?
