Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Scones

Anybody like Nutella? That chocolate hazelnut spread.Well I love it!!!!!!!!!! This dose not have nutella in it but Nutella gave me inspiration! I love having nutella for breakfast. I love it on toast and waffles, well I needed a recipe to put up and I decided to do scones. I love scones! Well who dose not right. So I was looking for some of my recipes and I came along this one. I love chocolate as y'all know so this was awesome. The hazelnut gives it this smoky flavor almost. My dad is a big scone fan. Scones aren't that sweet so he loves that, they are really easy and simple and he is the simple and elegant kind of gut and these are elegant!!!!!  In England they eat these at tea parties and the queen eats them. They eat them at elegant events. Anyway, I am not a coffee or tea kind of gal. Most people eat scones with coffee and tea. So in the morning I just make Hot coco. In my opinion is taste way better it goes better with the scone. It is chocolate and chocolate what can be better? Seriously, what I have no idea what can be better! A lot of kids skip breakfast because they don't want it. On a school day you don't always have time to make a homemade breakfast. So kids just put something in the toaster and make a bowl of cereal. Here is what I do, make these on Sundays and have them  for the week. This recipe makes 8 scones so it should last you the 5 day school week.You can always double it if you have a big family. They are really easy to make and don't take long so you could always make on a weekday night. These go by fast in my house! So, How y'all doing. These are also very filling. I hate it when you eat something for breakfast that is really yummy but not filling. The point of breakfast is to fill yourself up for the day. Sixth graders at the school I work at eat lunch at 10:45. These scones fill me up so much I don't like to eat to like 1:00. But I hate eating in front of the kids because I feel bad I get to eat wen ever I want and they don't so I just eat at 10:45. My mind just went blank. So anybody going away for Presidents Day? I am staying at home blogging and sleeping.  I love to sleep! I slept in till 10:00 today. Then I decided to add a recipe then I want to go exercise. I want to but I really don't feel like it. My plan is to put up 4 recipes today. Then I have 3 arons to do and then I will relax for the day! It sounds so easy!:-) Plus I have to shows tonight to watch! One is Worst cooks in America the other is Once upon a time. I love Once upon a time. I am addicted to that show. I watch it every Sunday and I can not miss it! I watch it like 3 times the same episode every week!  I have count downs to the next new episode to! I love that show! Well g2g bye!
