Sandra Lee - Mocha Chip Scones

Submitted by GoodMorningBurger

"I love the decadence of scones, love coffee, and love chocolate chips! I'm not a huge fan of Sandra Lee on the Food Network, but these scones looked pretty darn good for Semi-Homemade ones made with Bisquick! :) They tasted even better!!! (However, I do think the 3/4 cup of white chocolate chips made this a little too sweet...so I replaced the white with an additional 3/4 cup semi-sweet ones. I also felt that the dough needed an additional teaspoon of vanilla extract. I found the coffee flavor to be far too weak using double strength coffee, so I substituted 4 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder dissolved in 1/4 cup hot tap water. ) Enjoy with coffee or hot chocolate for a sinful breakfast!"

These are great even my kids like them. The only difference is that I used Jiffy baking mix. I do not care for bisquick. Also I used White baking chip along with the chocolate chips. These are really good and easy to make.

I made the original recipe it was great. So the only difference is that I used 3/4 White chocolate chips. They are easy to make and yummy
