Not Your Grandma's Scones

Since Michael is in West Virginia for the weekend attending his cousin Andrea and Dan's fabulous wedding, I called over my girlfriend Robyn last night.  We entertained ourselves by creating a delicious recipe for Chocolate White Chocolate Strawberry scones.  The results were mouthwatering, blissful, and absolutely incredible.  

Don't they just scream "Tragic Romance"?  Definitely the perfect snack to bring to your Twilight Eclipse movie premier party next weekend.
