Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the chilled butter into small cubes and distribute evenly over the flour mixture.
-
Use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir or knead until a cohesive dough forms.
-
Gently knead the chopped peanuts into the dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
-
Using a floured 2.5 to 3-inch round cutter, cut out 16 rounds from the dough.
-
Gather the scraps, re-pat, and cut again until you have 16 total rounds.
-
Place 8 of the dough rounds on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them apart.
-
Break the bittersweet chocolate into 8 pieces, placing one piece in the center of each of the 8 dough rounds.
-
Top each chocolate-filled round with one of the remaining dough circles.
-
Press the edges of the dough gently to seal the chocolate inside.
-
Bake for 17 to 19 minutes, or until the scones are lightly browned on top.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
-
Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
