Peanut Butter Chocolate Scones
The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is a classic for a reason, and it blends perfectly in this scone. The peanut butter adds a rich texture, while the dark chocolate pieces provide a pleasant contrast. TIP: For a more intense chocolate flavor, use 85% cocoa chocolate or add a little cocoa powder to the dough. The scone will remain crumblier if you don't overwork the dough! These peanut butter chocolate scones are the perfect choice with a cup of hot cocoa or a glass of milk, and can be enjoyed for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.

Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
3
Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4
In another bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, honey, milk, and egg.
5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined into a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and fold it into the dough.
7
On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness. Cut into triangles or rounds using a cookie cutter.
8
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve fresh with extra peanut butter or melted chocolate, if desired.
