I asked for feedback about the chocolate scones, and I got it.
You
see, I shouldn't eat chocolate as it gives me a migraine.
The
general opinion was although they were good scones, they were dry.
(Cocoa powder does tend to dry a mixture.) Also, one person said the
walnuts did not "go". If I make chocolate scones again I think I will
use hazelnuts as they are a "wetter" nut, and possibly raspberries or
blueberries in place of the chocolate chips.
But, unless you try
new things out you don't know whether they work or not.

Baking "experiment"
I'm not 100% sure why I decided that I would try to bake chocolate
scones, but I did. I have never seen, or heard, of chocolate scones
before and wondered why.
I'll not say what changes I made to the recipe, only that they were logical changes, if you bake.
They are just about ready to be put into boxes to keep them fresh, but they smell great and look like normal scones, only they are brown, due to the chocolate.
After they have been sampled by my "guinea pigs", I'll add feedback to this post.
For the record, I made chocolate scones that have chocolate chips and walnut in them. And....isn't experimenting how people create new recipes?
