Iced Coffee Cubes with Iced Coffee Glazed Chocolate Chip Scones

During the days when my kids were babies, I often started my day with a big cup of coffee. There’s nothing like a shot of caffeine to prepare you for a day of constant feedings, diaper changes and 20 minute sleep breaks. These days I’ve traded in my coffee cravings for something cooler. International Delight makes a carton filled with iced coffee that’s pre-mixed and ready to poor over a tall glass of ice. It’s refreshing on hot days like today when a cup of hot coffee just doesn’t hit the spot. 
 


It’s even better when you pair it with these chocolate chip breakfast scones. Inside they’re tender and filled with milk chocolate morsels. Outside they’re crispy and sweetened up a bit with an iced coffee glaze.



While the scones are cooling off a bit you’ll want to pour a glass of the vanilla iced coffee. To make these drink even better, use iced coffee cubes. I’ve never liked a drink that gets watered down with regular ice cubes as they melt so when you freeze the International Delight Iced Coffee, they melt down into the same flavor you love.



Try these together as a sweet breakfast or a cool afternoon snack. Either way, you’ll appreciate the coffee buzz and satisfy your chocolate craving.
