Not Your Grandma's Scones

Little Monkey and I spent last night creating a delicious recipe for Chocolate White Chocolate Strawberry scones.  The results were mouthwatering, blissful, and completely incredible.  

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