Semi-Homemade: Cranberry Orange Scones Recipe: An easy and delicious way to whip up scones, instead of starting from scratch! 

I love a good scone.

They’re pretty, tasty (usually), and look classy.

Perfect for brunch, an office meeting, or a weekend treat with the family.

With this semi-homemade recipe, you can whip these up in no time, and impress the heck out of everyone who knows ya! 😉

Cranberry Orange Scones

So you’ll grab a box of cranberry orange bar mix at the store.  (Krusteaz , Duncan Hines and Pillsbury all have this in a box.)

Prepare the box mix as the batter, as recommended by the instructions on the box.  Once batter is prepared… add these little special touches, and you’re golden.

Recipe below…

But let me walk you through with photos.  I’m more of a “see it,” kinda gal.

Preparing the Orange Icing…

(I could literally drink this out of the bowl.  But I must refrain and add it to the scones.)

Aren’t they precious, and dainty too!?

So here’s what else I’m thinking these would be perfect for…

•A Christmas brunch

•Girls tea party

•Make & Take them to a spa day with the ladies
