			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve mentioned before how much we love breakfast for dinner at our house. These are more like breakfast for snack or dessert! Or lunch, or midnight snack, etc&#8230; I make a TRIPLE batch of these and eat them for pretty much every meal until they are gone!</p>
<p><a title="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-recipe"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7004/6831034341_b3e1b4df2e_o.jpg" alt="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-recipe" width="600" height="391" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve shared this <a title="Chocolate chunk scones- This week’s treat" href="http://imtopsyturvy.com/chocolate-chunk-scones-this-weeks-treat/">chocolate chunk scone</a> recipe before with just chocolate, but I SOMEHOW ran out of mini chocolate chips (my go to for scones and pancakes) so I used regular size chocolate chips and as I was getting them out I saw the peanut butter chips and they sounded so good I did half and half!</p>
<p>I added red powdered food dye to the dough (with the other dried ingredients) in honor of Valentines day!</p>
<p><a title="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-red-food-dye"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7013/6831034741_d9de8112bf_o.jpg" alt="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-red-food-dye" width="600" height="396" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Valentines Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunk Scone</strong><br />
6 C flour<br />
1 C sugar<br />
3 Tbsp baking powder<br />
1 1/2 tsp salt<br />
1/2 tsp (or more for a darker color) powder red food dye<br />
1 C chocolate chip<br />
1 C peanut butter chips<br />
3 3/4 C heavy cream<br />
Extra cream and red sugar for topping<br />
Preheat your oven to 425. Whisk flour, sugar, powder, salt, powder food dye and the chips. Add the cream to the flour mixture and mix until moist. Then knead the dough in the bowl 5-10 times, this should clean up the sides.</p>
<p><a title="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-roll-out-dough"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/6831034613_af488f580d_o.jpg" alt="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-roll-out-dough" width="600" height="399" /></a></p>
<p>Transfer the ball to a slightly floured surface and roll out about 3/4 inches tall.</p>
<p><a title="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-heart-cookie-cutter"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7159/6831034701_77c90805bc_o.jpg" alt="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-heart-cookie-cutter" width="600" height="394" /></a></p>
<p>Then I used my small heart cookie cutter to cut out hearts.</p>
<p><a title="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-brushing-cream"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7156/6831034565_c180685187_o.jpg" alt="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-brushing-cream" width="600" height="395" /></a></p>
<p>Brush top with extra cream&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-sugar-topping"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7016/6831034505_5297ac0e65_o.jpg" alt="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-sugar-topping" width="600" height="393" /></a></p>
<p>and dip the wet top into a plate of red sugar- I like the large chunky sugar for these.</p>
<p><a title="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-adding-sugar"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7172/6831034389_4aaf0f95cc_o.jpg" alt="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-adding-sugar" width="600" height="426" /></a></p>
<p>Put them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and cook at 425 for 12-15 mins (until the top JUST starts to brown).</p>
<p><a title="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-baking"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7169/6831034645_d728f68483_o.jpg" alt="chocolate-peanut-butter-chunk-valentines-scones-baking" width="600" height="397" /></a></p>
<p>Let them cook a min (or second- depending on how hungry you are) and then enjoy!!!  My kids were tickled with these Valentines version and asked me to make them again ON valentines!  What are your Valentines breakfast plans?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, after some confusion I&#8217;m separating out the patterns. Here is the one for the INFANT size!
