Oh yes I did, I came up with yet another fantastic scone recipe to share with you and I am really loving this one! Dried Cranberry & White Chocolate Scones are a fantastic treat for breakfast, brunch or with your afternoon coffee. I just adore how the creamy sweetness of the white chocolate goes with the slightly sweet/ slightly tart Craisins® Dried Cranberries. We all know that I have an obsession with scones and love coming up with new recipes and I am just thrilled with how these turned out!! The flavor, texture, everything is just spot on!

Have you all used Craisins® Dried Cranberries before? I love them!! Did you all know that 1/4 cup of Craisins® Dried Cranberries provides 1/2 cup serving of fruit. Got to love that! They are perfect in salads, mixed in with yogurt or in baked goods like cookies or these perfect Dried Cranberry & White Chocolate Scones!

While shopping at Walmart last week I grabbed the big 24 ounce Value Pack because I had planned on making these scones not only for us to enjoy but to hand out to a few friends and family members so yea I made a whole lot of these! While grabbing the Craisins® I spotted a new product, Craisins® Fruit Clusters and figured I should definitely give them a try! Got myself a bag of the Craisins® Fruit Clusters- Cranberry Granola & a bag of the Craisins® Fruit Clusters- Cranberry Almond. You can find all of these products in Walmart where dried fruits are sold!

Craisins® Dried Cranberries can be used in so many different ways and they really add such beautiful color and great flavor to any dish or baked good! I think next I’m going to work on a Dried Cranberry & Almond Biscotti recipe! These are great year round but there is something about cranberries and the cooler weather that just seems to go together for me. White chocolate really works so well with the Craisins®, white chocolate is mild in flavor and in these scones adds such a great creamy element. The white chocolate is both in the scones as well as melted and drizzled over top after baking.

A little tip… if you want to make these and freeze them, skip the white chocolate drizzle for now, allow them to cool completely, wrap in plastic wrap and into a freezer bag. Before serving, pop them in the oven for a few minutes to warm and crisp up the exterior just a bit. Then you can go ahead and drizzle with the melted chocolate.

Oh, I almost forgot about those fantastic  Craisins® Fruit Clusters- Cranberry Granola &  Craisins® Fruit Clusters- Cranberry Almond. They are tasty all on their own or you can do what I did, added them as yogurt topper. Perfect quick breakfast or snack- they’ve got great crunch, a perfect amount of sweetness and they are just fun to pop into your mouth as well. I added a few dried cranberries in there as well. These would be great in your morning bowl of cereal as well!

Dried Cranberry & White Chocolate Scones
Author: Angela LeMoine
Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 6 Tbsp cold butter, small dice
  • 3/4 cup Craisins® Dried Cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips, divided
  • egg wash {1 egg whisked with a little water}
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to a food processor fit with the dough blade.
  3. Add in the cold butter and continue to mix until the butter becomes incorporated and the pieces are about the size of peas.
  4. Add the dry mixture to a bowl. Stir in ½ cup of the chocolate chips and the dried cranberries.
  5. In a measuring cup mix together the buttermilk and egg. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until the dry ingredients are mostly incorporated.You do not want to overwork the dough.
  6. Pour the dough out onto a lightly floured surface {too much flour will leave you with a heavy dense scone}. Gently press together to form into a square or rectangle about 1 inch high.
  7. Cut into 6-8 even squares or rectangles. Place onto a lined baking sheet and brush with the egg wash.
  8. Bake for approx 22-24 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool completely.
  9. In a small bowl add the remaining ½ cup of white chocolate chips. Microwave in :20 second intervals until melted. Drizzle over the cooled scones.
