Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- In large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions), cut in butter until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in cherries until coated with flour mixture. Stir in whipping cream, vanilla and egg just until liquid is absorbed into flour mixture.
- Turn mixture out onto clean work surface; lightly knead 10 to 15 times or just until a dough forms. Using floured rolling pin or patting out with hands, roll dough into thick 15x2 1/2-inch rectangle.
- With 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut 7 scones by placing cookie cutter in opposite directions directly on cut edge of previous heart. Place dough hearts about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Reroll dough scraps into 5x2 1/2-inch rectangle. Cut 2 additional heart shapes from remaining dough; place on cookie sheet.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or just until edges are set. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
- In small resealable freezer plastic bag, place baking chips; seal bag. In another small resealable plastic bag, place red candy melts; seal bag. Microwave both filled bags on High 2 to 3 minutes, kneading bags twice, until chips and candy melts are melted. Cut off tiny bottom corner of each bag. Immediately squeeze bag with melted candy melts to drizzle melted candy over scones. Repeat with bag of melted baking chips. Let stand 10 minutes; serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3 or 4 times to mix. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 20 to 25 times. Pour mixture into a large bowl. Fold in cherries and chocolate chips, making sure they are well coated with the dry ingredients.
- Mix together 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, and 1 tablespoon cherry syrup together with a fork in a small bowl until well combined. Stir into flour mixture and mix just until slightly moistened.
- Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Gather dough in a circle using floured hands, kneading only slightly to incorporate any remaining dry ingredients. Flatten dough into a 9-inch round disc; cut disc into 8 triangles. Transfer scones using a bench scraper onto the prepared baking sheets (4 scones per baking sheet). Brush scones with 1 tablespoon heavy cream.
- Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Mix powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag. Snip one corner off of the bag with a pair of scissors, and drizzle glaze on cooled scones.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY SCONES
Tender, chocolatey scones with tart dried cherries tucked inside, plus a decadent dark chocolate drizzle. But they're not all indulgence - these tasty triangles are made a little more palatable with pure maple syrup instead of refined white sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the into chunks and add it to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles course crumbs.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the egg. Add the heavy whipping cream, pure maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Create a well in the dry ingredients, then pour the wet mixture in. With a wooden spoon, mix the dough just until it all comes together. Add the cherries and stir until combined.
- Spread a little flour on your pastry surface and turn the dough onto the surface. With your hands, and using a little flour if necessary, shape the dough into an approximately 8-inch x 5-inch rectangle. Cut the dough in half down the middle and again across so that you have four rectangles. Slice each rectangle on the diagonal to create two rough triangles.
- Carefully transfer the scones to the cookie sheet and bake until set, about 15 minutes.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack with paper towels underneath (the paper towels help with clean-up). Allow to cool completely.
- Place chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir and cook at 50% power in 15-second increments until the chips melt completely smooth when you stir them. With a spoon, drizzle the chocolate over the scones. Let cool so the chocolate will harden, then serve.
