- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 3 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, cold, cubed

Instructions
- For the scones:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- With a pastry blender or fingers, add butter to dry ingredients. Combine until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In another small bowl, combine milk, egg, and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry along with chocolate chips in batches until mixture clings together and forms a soft dough.
- Flour the surface and knead bread gently 5 or 6 times. Then roll dough into a 7 inch round. Use a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out 8 (or more depending on dough).
- Place on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for about 16 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Spread chocolate ganache on top and top with toasted coconut.
- For the ganache:
- In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate chips and cream over medium heat. Stir to combine and set aside.
