These scones were easy to make and they turned out great! I used frozen dried cherries and they worked perfectly.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

These scones were so delicious! I made them for a brunch party and they were a huge hit. The chocolate chips and dried cherries add a great flavor combination and the scones are so moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.
