These chocolate cream scones are my go to treat when I want something fancy but don't have all day in the kitchen. They're rich and decadent with chunks of bittersweet chocolate throughout, yet they come together in just 45 minutes from start to finish. The cocoa powder in these scones is packed with antioxidants, so you can feel a little better about indulging. What I love most is how straightforward they are to make, even if you've never baked scones before. Serve them warm with a dollop of whipped cream and watch everyone's faces light up!
