Double Chocolate-Cherry Scones Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Double Chocolate-Cherry Scones Recipe). These are so decadent tasting, but surprisingly have very little chocolate! The bonus they cook rather quick! I use black onyx cocoa powder from the Savory Spice Shop®- it allows for a much deeper, darker, and richer chocolate taste that regular Dutch processed cocoa powder just doesn't have.
