Hmmm...think I need to make these today!
So tempted to go buy more stuff, make 1 batch cherry ripe and 1 peppermint or crunchie... ohhh the options are endless
Oh crunchie!!!!!!! I didn't think of that......... :think:
I'm buying more stuff tonight too
Just made mine....I don't have a food processor, just a KA and a blender. Used the blender.......um......whoops. Probably shouldn't have done that............smoke everywhere. Maybe I should ask Santa for a new one? :ROFL:
They taste great anyhow!!!!
I used my barmix LOL, I think I killed mine too:
:lol: I killed my last blender trying to blend biscuits. And one time when I had a new mortar and pestle, I broke the biscuits that way (nb: not time efficient).
I think the trick is not to do too many at a time. I killed the last blender putting the whole packet in. :doh:
But yeah - a couple of ziplock bags (because I always break at least one bag corner) and a rolling pin or tin of something works well. :)
Oh gosh ladies! I hope Santa brings you all a new blender! Haha!! Worth it tho, right?? :)
Zara I was thinking about the sprinkles, then had an idea! :think: You can COLOUR the coconut with food colouring! Red and green, for christmas theme. Totally what I'm planning on doing anyway! I need to try them with the peppermint! They sound delish!
I am a bit scared to brave the supermarkets tho... ahhh!!
Nelle - I used a freezer bag a first because I'd run out of ziplock bags & it split because it's so thin LOL
Yep I'm going to attempt to colour the coconut tomorrow - I couldnt find red and green sprinkles yesterday. And if the shops today are anything to go by, tomorrow is going to be dreadful.....:
**licks my lips** ... def gonna have to make these!
Thanks! :D
Ok ladies, they are ALL GONE.. i made them YESTERDAY.. DD1 helped herself today and ate an entire small container in her room (i had them in 3 containers) DP and i have had some and now picking during the day and then DD1 steals the rest AGAIN.. OMG parenting fail but FOOD GENIUS... now i'm debating if i buy more peppermint crisp tomorrow and make some more for tomorrow nights dinner with DP's family.. maybe 3 PC bars and 2 cherry ripes????
I just finished making my first batch - I can proudly say they are all still on the plate setting in the fridge!!
DH loves the turkish delight bars so Im thinking I might make some with them in it for him :-)
How many balls does it make per batch? I'm making two tomorrow, one cherry ripe and one peppermint. TIA :)
I don't think ANY thread in the history of BB Food has got so much excitement!
Well you are all ahead of me, I am too scared to make them in case I eat them all at once....now I've eaten half a pkt of Choc Ripple anyway lol
PZ if you make them about teaspoon sized, they make about 30 give or take.
I have to admit I have eaten a 'few' off the plate in the fridge....
Perfect, thankyou! So around 60 for me, good good. Omg can't wait to try them!
LOL! I know!! I'm pretty surprised too!!:
Got my ingredients tonight, making the peppermint and the cherry ripe. MmmMmm
Enjoy them PZ!
Good eh Ubbs?! hehehehe!:
telly, thanks alot!!! you seem to have jump started my cherry ripe obsession!! i have bought the cherry ripes twice now, and theyve been half eaten befor i got home... have to try my luck a third time, lucky there only 99c each at safeway, have to buy extra just to be safe....
I have some Christmas noodle boxes & we had a couple of unexpected visitors last night. Great spur of the moment gift (4- 6 filled the boxes).
I'm going to be making mine today as well as trying it with crunhies too.
Because I can't eat any myself I'm going to make some for my parents once we get there that way I mess up her kitchen not mine hehe ... Shame the general store only has the cherry ripe rolls or I would have done them with the kids yesterday when we baked

I used the cherry ripe rolls our supermarket was out of normal cherry ripes, turned out fine:
DB this is actually how I originally got the recipe! My AWESOME cousin gave them to me as a gift, including the recipe. :):
Peppermint ones are awesome, very tasty indeed! BUT... I"m still a fan of the original cherry ripe!
Bumping this for awesome Christmas ideas
Ness you're naughty for bumping this - now I have to find the time and ingredients to make some of these variations :rofl:
Yum yum yum!!!!
Sooo doing these this Chrissy - thanks for the inspiration! Been looking out for something just like it :)

subscribing so I can find this later :lol: these sound very yummy
Subscribing so I can find this later too
It is bad how easy these sound to make! Going to probably do a batch of Cherry Ripe and a batch of Peppermint Crisp for Christmas... or before...
I agree! Same here... Will definitely be trialling both the cherry ripe & peppermint before Christmas then adding them to my gift giving to go along with gifts. Such a beautiful handmade touch!:
Will let you know how they go!

Haha, this thread lives on! :o
The cherry ripe ones are the best, imo. Hands down!
And yes, they are stupid easy to make!
This thread is evil.
(and I love it)
VERDICT: yum!!! The cherry ripe ones are SO good! Next I will be trying peppermint ones, then half and half.
But I have also another idea for a rum alternative.. Baileys balls!!!! How good does that sound lol I'm going to find a recipe & see how that goes too.
Thanks so much OP for sharing this recipe (even if it was a long long time ago)!

Ah, I've been meaning to search for this thread! Search over :D
I've been thinking of ways to do a Jaffa version....
Ideas anyone???
Beat up the jaffas with a rolling pin and then pulse it a bit in the blender?
Otherwise a lot of chocolate and a few drops of orange essence?
