Ruby Romance Scones

Today you could celebrate Valentines Day making these Ruby Romance scones for your very own Valentine. I have used this recipe on plain yogurt scones as starting point.
The romantic/Valentine twist is the addition of cranberries and ruby chocolate, and I have replaced the plain yogurt with raspberry-rhubarb yogurt to both get some red colour parts for romance, and as I find ruby chocolate to have fresh fruitiness in the flavour, I think that the use of use of both cranberries as well as fruit yogurt can help to boost this fruity flavour.

If you do not have red fruit yogurt, you also use normal plain yogurt or thick milk, so there is no need to buy a special type of yogurt for the baking of  these scones.
