These are very tasty scones! I realized at the last minute that unlike regular chocolate chips raspberry chips contain milk, so I substituted dried cranberries, as the recipe suggested. I also used soy buttermilk. I did have a little bit of trouble with the dough being too dry, and had to add some more buttermilk to get it to form a ball, but other than that the scones were quick and easy. My family really enjoyed them. I wish I could try them with the raspberry chips, I bet they're even better!

These are really great scones. Mine turned out very light and yummy! I don't have self-rising flour, so I used all-purpose flour and baking powder and soda to make some.... The scones turned out great! I'm sure I'll make these again.... if I can find some more raspbery swirled chocolate chips. All I can say is that I hope I do find them because they make excellent scones !
