Tender low carb scones full of peanut butter and chocolate chips and drizzled with a peanut butter and chocolate glaze. You don’t want to miss this for breakfast! Happy Chocolate & Peanut Butter Day!!!
Do you know what today is? It is a very, very special day, one near and dear to my heart. It is truly an important day all the world over and you want to sit up and take note, my friends. Because today is pure magic. Today is the first annual Chocolate Peanut Butter Day! Yes, yes, it’s a real holiday – if by real, you mean made up by a few fellow bloggers for the sole purpose of making and consuming copious amounts of chocolate and peanut butter treats. It is the brain child of Carla of Chocolate Moosey and Miriam of Overtime Cook and includes 31 bloggers posting delicious recipes from cookies to parfaits and everything in between. We are also teaming up with OXO, King Arthur Flour and Peanut Butter & Co to bring you three wonderful prize packs so don’t miss the giveaway. And you can follow along in the fun all day by following our Pinterest board and the hashtag #chocPBday on social media.
Now, you know I love me some peanut butter and chocolate together. And I seem to have created quite a number of recipes featuring this flavour combination over the past few months. In fact, when I caught wind of this little scheme and was invited to participate, I had quite literally just posted yet another low carb chocolate and peanut butter recipe and I was a bit tapped out. However, I mustered all my creative energy and got brainstorming. What hadn’t I tried yet, when it came to combining these two beloved ingredients? Cake…been there, done that. Muffins…one of my first low carb recipe, for goodness sake. Cookies…ha, I already have several low carb peanut butter and chocolate cookie recipes here on All Day I Dream About Food. Ice cream…done that too. But I haven’t done scones! Yes yes, scones. I do love scones in the morning and I love peanut butter and chocolate any time of day. Waking up to a delicious low carb peanut butter and chocolate scones to munch while I drink my coffee? Pure heaven. And they were easy to make (bonus!) and tasted divine. I know you’ll love them!
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Scones – Low Carb and Gluten-Free

Peanut butter fudge milkshake
Honestly, I can’t turn anything down that’s peanut butter/chocolate combo! My favorite is Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, somehow they’re better than the pb cups.

Buckeyes, for sure! Also, PB chocolate chunk ice cream!

I love peanut butter & chocolate!
Buckeyes, peanut butter balls dipped in melted chocolate!
I haven’t heard of peanut flour before, but I think I’m willing to give it a go! swerve is also too sweet for my tastes, and I always use half the amount called for. Will this affect the recipe? My hubby LOVES scones, and I’m looking forward to fixing this treat for him!
It shouldn’t affect this recipe at all.

I love Reeses PB cups!
I am a scone lover and these are ridiculous!! These photos are amazing!! Thank goodness I don’t have the option of tasting all of the Chocolate & PB insanity I am seeing today – or I would be in BIG trouble!
Carolyn, if there was such a thing, I would nominate you for “Best Blogger in the whole world” suddenly my inbox and facebook page are full of the most fabulous LCHF recipes and your blogs are as if they are written to me personally. Instead OF unwanted emails about stuff I don’t really want to know about, you pop in. Such a joy to read! How could anyone be down reading your upbeat delightful comments and messages. At the moment I am saving your recipes, as being very strict on LCHF until have weight down, then there will be no stopping me!!!! Xx H (Lincolnshire UK).
That is such a sweet comment, Heather. Thank you!
I second Heather’s comment!
I agree with Heather – thanks Carolyn
