I finally went to the King Arthur Flour store in Vermont yesterday. Wow, do they have everything you need for baking! If you’re traveling through this area, you have to stop in and check them out. If your lucky enough to live in the area, you can take advantage of the many, many cooking classes they have.
One of the items I bought was Cappuccino chips. This morning I was thinking of what I could make with the chips. And I remembered I made scone with cinnamon chips that were very good. So I decided to try out scones with the Cappuccino chips. I used the same recipe as the Cinnamon Scones, and replaced the Cinnamon chips with Cappuccino chips, added some mini chocolate chips, and added some espresso powder in place of some of the cinnamon. In other words, I winged it.

They were delicious. There’s nothing like steaming hot coffee, and a warm scone. No matter what flavor they are. Delicious!

The store looks like it would be awesome to visit! Too bad I’m on the other side of the country!
Thanks for sharing!

I made cinnamon chip scones, but I’ll have to order and try these cappuccino chips!
