Heart-Shaped Pomegranate Dark Chocolate Scones

Happy Valentine's Day!

Honestly, I often overlook Valentine's Day. It's one of those holidays that isn't very official and you only really celebrate it if you are a kid in pre-k through 4th grade or are in a relationship. I am right smack in the middle and fall into neither of those categories. So I make it a holiday about the people I love. Not romantically. Like friends-and-family. Deep thoughts from Audrey: Valentine's Day is often thought of as romantic-love holiday when it is just a love holiday. And on average people have more non-romantic love than romantic love in their lives so let's make it just a holiday to celebrate love.

And what better way to celebrate those you love than by giving them yummy delicious downright amazing scones? (the perfect gift, as they can be either breakfast, dessert, or snack)?

Oatmeal, Raspberry, and Dark Chocolate Scones

These. Are the best scones ever. 

Being both a baker and an anglophile, I've made my fair share of scones over the years, many of them scrumptious by any usual standard. But these, these are the absolute best. And not only are they hands down my favorite scone recipe, they are also one of my favorite recipes...period. Coming from someone who prefers trying new recipes to repeating old ones, that should tell you something.
