When my son was here at Christmas, he was looking through a cookbook I had sitting out on the counter, and found these scones. The chocolate/peppermint combination is one of his favorites, so he asked me if I would make them. Needless to say, I never was able to fit them in until now. I thought they would work well for Valentine's Day too, especially with the heart biscuit cutter.
I was happy to see that they kept their shape after baking:) These scones were very easy to make and came together in a snap! I hope Jesse and his family enjoy eating them as much as I enjoyed making them (and eating one:)). Making these was also a great way to use up the last of my candy cane stash. The candy canes added just the right amount of Valentine red to the hearts.
