Dark Chocolate Chip Cream Scones

dark chocolate chip cream scones // my bacon-wrapped life

Helloooooo, giant tray of enormous scones that we consumed in less than 24 hours.

What can I say? This is my all-time fave scone recipe, and I’ve been craving it for, I dunno, MONTHS. I’ve had this recipe on my short list to share with you guys basically since the blog started, and I decided it’s finally time to right my scone-withholding wrongs. Because this is a weekend to celebrate!! Yesterday, my parents and I drove up to Santa Barbara and Malibu to finally (!!) look at wedding venues and guys, it was so fun! We found a place we absolutely loved, and spending a day looking for the perfect place to get married was basically the best day ever. My point is: wedding venue touring dream day deserves some celebration dark chocolate chip cream scones. And champagne!! But first, scones.

 Can I go back to last Thursday and eat this all over again, please?

Hey everyone! I missed you last week. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and absolutely ate your faces off. I know we certainly did! We feasted on pretzel bread stuffing, cheesy broccoli casserole, incredible bacon-roasted sweet potatoes, the best pumpkin pie I’ve ever had, and so much more. It was an incredible Thanksgiving! Now, of course, I’m already in full-blown Christmas baking/nesting mode. I waste no time when preparing for my favorite holiday!! Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites.

Guys. It’s November. NOVEMBER! The month of first snows and Thanksgiving and the beginnings of holiday shopping and Christmas music. I’m getting all excited just thinking about it.

I, for one, love the holidays. (I don’t do Christmas music until after Thanksgiving though. THEN it’s game on, All-I-Want-for-Christmas-is-You style allllll the way until December 25, yo.) In every other way, I am happy to start celebrating as soon as it’s socially acceptable, and November 2 = totally, totally acceptable. Bring. It. On.

Mexican Dark Chocolate S’mores Bars

mexican dark chocolate s'mores bars // my bacon-wrapped lifePeach cobbler, giant ice cream cones, blueberry pie – summer has no shortage of incredible desserts. It’s the time of year for everything fruity and streusel-y and cool and creamy and, perhaps best of all, EASY – and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with any of that. But I think if we had to choose a winner, the one definitive quintessential summer dessert, it just has to be s’mores.

S’mores are the ultimate warm-weather treat – so simple, but so satisfyingly ooey-gooey and chocolate-y. They just scream summer to me, and I couldn’t let a summer go by without paying tribute to the ultimate summer indulgence. I would never do that to you!
