over and dot with remaining 3 pieces chocolate dough; knead 5 or 6
times to marbleize dough. Divide dough in half. With lightly floured
rolling pin, roll one half of dough into a 7-inch round. Cut into 4
wedges. Repeat with remaining half of dough. 4. Place scones, 1 inch
apart, on greased baking sheet. Pierce tops with tines of fork. 5.
