What an amazing treat alligirl. I love scones with coconut, chocolate and macadamia nuts, so I knew that I would love these but the lime just takes it to a new level. I enjoyed these light and fluffy scones very much. Loved all the ingredients, they blended together perfectly to create an unforgettable flavor. I didn't have any white chocolate chips so I substituted with dark chocolate. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Which I will make again, next time with the white chocolate.

Best scones I've ever had. The coconut, white chocolate and macadamia nuts as well as the hint of lime are what make these scones so special.

All I can say is WOW!! My family ate these within 2 days. I was really worried they would be too sweet but surprisingly they weren't. The only thing I would change is use a little more zest. Other than that all the measurements were great. I like how the chips melted into the scone. These are going into rotation. Made for ZWT 5
