What I love about these Double Chocolate Scones and scones in general is that they are quick to prepare, have a rustic, unpretentious look but smells and tastes absolutely amazing. The best part is they are best served warm, so there’s no need to wait for cooling completely which makes them a perfect treat for breakfast or as a snack any time of the day.
These Double Chocolate Scones are rich and chocolaty, with melted chocolate chips inside they almost taste like brownies, which makes them totally irresistible. So whenever you are craving chocolate or want a quick recipe to prepare for family or friends these scones might be the answer for you.

These are delicious! They were perfect for my Saturday morning treat! The texture is slightly crisp on the outside, light, tender and moist on the inside. Not overly sweet. So good! The house smells amazing! I’m already planning to make them again. Thank you so much!
