Triple Chocolate Scones Supreme
These decadent chocolate scones are a treat that feels just like having a brownie for breakfast.
dailyrecipesbook.comIf you love chocolate, these scones are going to be your new favorite morning indulgence. They are rich, tender, and absolutely packed with chocolate chunks in every single bite.
I love serving these warm when the chocolate inside is still soft and gooey. My best tip is to keep your butter cold, as that helps create the perfect flaky texture we all want in a scone.

๐ก Tips
Store these scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. They taste wonderful if you pop them in the microwave for ten seconds before eating. You can also freeze the unbaked dough wedges for a quick treat later.
