OUR REVIEW

 

Yum! You can never go wrong when a recipe calls for a Hershey's product!

The title of the cookbook is reason enough to pick it up off the shelf and bring it home. Simply called Hershey’s Recipe Collection, this cookbook is packed with a large variety of decadent desserts, perfect pies, and everything in between! Although all the recipes looked delicious with their full page colorful photo, I choose something I never make: scones. Appropriately titled Special Dark Chocolate Chip Scones, all I can say is wow! The recipe was extremely easy to follow and accurate on the description of what to expect during the mixing and baking process of these perfectly sweet and tasty scones. Let me tell you, they turned out fabulous! A definite recipe to keep on hand for company! I can’t wait to try the rest of the delightful recipes Hershey’s has gathered for me in this fun and user-friendly cookbook.

 

 

Here is the recipe I used:
SPECAIL DARK Chocolate Chip Scones
Special Dark Chocolate Chip Scones

3 1/4 cups flour
1/2    cup granulated sugar
 

1       tablespoon baking powder
 

1/4    teaspoon salt
 

2       cups HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK  chocolate chips
1/2    cup chopped nuts
2       cups whipping cream, chilled
2       tablespoons butter, melted

Additional granulated sugar
Powdered sugar

1. Heat oven to 375F. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
2. Stir together flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.
3. Stir whipping cream into flour mixture just until ingredients are moistened.4. Turn mixture out onto lightly floured surface. Knead gently until soft dough forms, about 2 minutes. Divide dough into three equal balls. One ball at a time, flatten into 7-inch circle; cut into 8 triangles. Transfer triangles to prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with additional granulated sugar.
5. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar, if desired.
