These are delicious. The only modification I made was to mix the coconut and chocolate chips in before the milk and egg. My aim was to avoid handling the dough as much as possible, which can negatively affect the texture of the scones. Thank you.

Delicious! My first real attempt at scones, and they came out perfectly tender are flaky. Perfect for breakfast! I halved the recipe, so I only made one flat disc and then cut that into 8 wedges.

Very tasty and not too sweet. I love the combination of chocolate and coconut. Thanks for posting!

Made these for a bake sale. They were so good! Lots of rave reviews about them. Will definitely make them again.

What more could I want? These go together easily, the baking time is right on and the taste and texture are perfect. I made 1/2 the recipe and subbed pecans for the walnuts (what I had on hand)- voila - 8 perfect scones! Thanks for sharing!
