INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a lg bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and
salt. Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes and distribute them over the flour
mixture. With a pastry blender or two knives used scissors fashion, cut in
the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a sm bowl, stir
together the peanut butter mixture to the flour mixture and knead until
combined.  Knead in the peanuts.
Pat the dough out into a 1/2-inch thickness on a cutting board. Using a
floured 2-1/2 in. to 3-in. diameter crinkled round biscuit cutter, cut out
rounds from the dough. Gather the scraps togvether and repeat until all the
dough is used and there are 16 round. Place 8 of the rounds on an ungreased
baking sheet. Top each round with a piece of the chocolate and one of the
remaining circles of dough. Press the edges gently to seal. Bake for 17-19
minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove the baking sheet to a wire rack
and cool 5 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer the scones to the wire rack
to cool. Serve warm or cool completely and store in an airtight container.
VARIATION (Randy's Preference):  Make the dough as above, omitting
bittersweet chocolate, substituting 1/2 c unsalted peanuts for the chopped
peanuts and kneading in 3/4 c semisweet chocolate chips at the same time.
Put the dough into a 9-inch diameter circle on a baking sheet. With a
serrated knife, cut into 8 wedges. Bake 20-22 minutes, or until a cake
tested or toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean.
Cool as above and recut into wedges, if necessary.

“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
