Brown Sugar Chocolate Scones

Brown Sugar Chocolate Scones with white and milk chocolate chips!

Oh my, these are my favorite type of scones so far. A brown sugar base, soft to the touch and they melt in your mouth. They should not be called scones! Maybe pieces of heaven. I am tooting the horn of these scones but for good reason.

Simple ingredients, easy to make, and super yum! One of my good friend’s daughters loves scones, chocolate chip to be exact. We were working on a recipe for her and we have got one here!! We hope she loves them just as much as we do.

The base of this recipe is a Brown Sugar Scone, which is just as delicious if you are not looking for those little nuggets of chocolatey sweetness.

Replace the chocolate chips for Toffee chips and we got Toffee scones.
