White Chip Cherry Scones (Perfect for Valentine’s Day!)

If you love dried cherries or craisins, these cherry scones are perfect! The tartness of the cherries is balanced perfectly with the sweet white chocolate.

They are a perfectly delicious scone recipe any time of year, but we love cutting them into heart shapes for Valentine’s Day!

First of all, a little shout out. Today is my oldest son’s 14th birthday. He is an amazing kid who has given us none of the troubles that most parents of teens experience. We don’t know if it will last forever, but we are enjoying it while we can! Happy Birthday Brandon, we love you!!

Valentine’s Day is only six days away, so this week I will be featuring recipes that I think would be really fun for all your “Love Day” celebrating. Brandon loves Craisins, so I got up this morning and made these scones for breakfast for him. They are really good, especially if you love white chocolate or Craisins.

I cut them into heart shapes so you could see what they look like. This of course didn’t make much of a difference in my houseful of boys, but I sure think it’s cute. They would make a darling Valentine’s Day gift wrapped up with some ribbon in a cellophane bag.
