Hello, Salted Caramel White Chocolate Mocha Scone goodness!
It has been a while since I used caramel and salt together.
Last weekend I made lots of cupcakes and made these
I could eat the whole bowl of frosting by myself with a spoon…
yup, it’s that good:-)
Ever since last weekend I have been wanting
to make something else with caramel and salt.
Fast forward to earlier today, when my husband asks for scones.
Now he is usually a very picky baked good eater.
(that translates into boring eater:-)
I love to add all sorts of things and make something different each time
and he likes to have plain stuff.
So, I started giving him some options of ones
that I have on my many lists.
It was a NO to everything I suggested.
All of a sudden he surprises me by saying how about salted caramel mocha scones?
Really??? I wanted to say,
“Who are you? And what did you do with my boring treat husband?”
But instead I zipped my lips and quickly made these
yummy scones before he changed his mind and requested vanilla.
These scones were the perfect thing to quench my caramel and salt cravings.
And I absolutely love anything with coffee in it.
(if you don’t like coffee, just leave it out and enjoy the caramel and salt flavor.
The white chocolate drizzle and sea salt gives it
just the perfect sweet and salty mix.
These are a sure thing to make the beginning of your week more doable.
If you like caramel and salt that is!
Mocha scones with caramel bits are topped with a white chocolate drizzle and sea salt...you won't be able to say no.
Ingredients
2/3 c. heavy cream
2 Tbsp. instant coffee
2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
6 Tbsp. butter, chilled
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 c. caramel bits
1/2 white chocolate chips, melted
2 tsp. sea salt
Instructions
- In a glass mug, heat the cream for 1 minute in the microwave. Stir in the instant coffee and set aside. Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. With a fork, cut in the butter until it creates small pea like pieces. Make a hole in the center of the flour and pour in the egg, vanilla and coffee cream. Stir until mixed thoroughly. Stir in caramel bits gently.
- The dough will be very sticky, so use a spoon to scoop out 12 scones. Press the dough rounds down until they are about 3 inches wide. Bake at 400* for 18 minutes. The caramel melts all over,so immediately transfer to wire racks to cool. Drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Store in a sealed container.

Sounds delish. Where do you find your caramel bits?
Bah, I feel like I’ve been missing from your blog for quite awhile now. What an absolutely perfect recipe to come back to though! I am in love with the salted caramel flavor!
Yum. Those sound dreamy. I had my first salted caramel about 2 years ago at a dockside candy shop. Absolutely to die for delicious!
Dude, our husbands should get together. They can have a boring dessert party while we rock out eating chocolate-mocha-caramel-pretzel-peanut butter cheesecakes or something. I want these scones! I can totally eat salted caramel on a spoon, in fact, I have a jar from TJs that has never seen the inside of a recipe!
Hahahahaha, I love Dorothy’s comment. Seriously, these look AMAZING! I’ll take any unwanted scones
Funny – my husband is the same way when it comes to dinner. If it were up to him we’d have burgers, hot dogs or sloppy joes every day. These scones look delicious! Pinned.
probably one of the best sounding scones EVER…and I know scones for sure…YUM YUM
Wow! These would be an indulgent Breakfast! I’d love you to link up this post at Breakfast Ideas Mondays – http://www.yummyinspirations.net/2012/05/breakfast-ideas-mondays-3.html
What is it about husbands and boring food?? I don’t get it. I could make some super-fancy dessert and my husband would choose vanilla ice cream out of the carton. I’m totally making these scones, though–I’m a sucker for caramel and these sound amazing!
Mmm! I love scones! And how unique-these sound absolutely delicious!
Ooooo, sounds good!! I love salted caramel, and mocha? Hello, these are calling my name! Yum!
Where to start, the caramel, the coffee, the white chocolate? So much yumminess in one goodie! Pinned and will be making these soon!
I love Salted Caramel!
I am going to have to try these!

This looks different and wonderful!
yum! I’ve only made scones once and the one time I made them I failed miserably. Maybe I’ll give these a try!
These look divine! I love salted caramel…Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday
I chose this to feature on Sugar Bee Crafts today. Grab a button. Congrats!
It’s a Carmel Macchiato scone. I love it. Please share this on foodie friday and I will pin it too.
Milk….Miiiillllkkkk…and I haven’t even had a bite yet.
Tee hee. Just ribbin’ ya Jocelyn! Your scones look like a devine salty/sweet sensation!
Always such an inspiration to visit here!!
Gah! Where was this recipe last night when I was craving scones. I had to settle for plain old chocolate chip. These are next on my scone-making list.
Umm…yes please! I would love to sink my teeth into one of these right now
