The receipes needs to be 5 for the bowl and 5 for your belly while making :):
Same as I do when cooking with wine...one for me, one for the pan. One for me, one for the...zzzzz.
I made several variations - cherry ripe, choc mint(unfortunately aero), Crunchie and Jaffa. Them seem to have gone okay - I've only taste tested the cherry ripe ones so far while DS & DH have tested the mint and Crunchie ones.
The Crunchie ones had a bit of trouble sticking together when I was rolling them and the jaffas nearly killed my food processor. :lol: tomorrow will be the test as my sister and her family are getting a selection for christmas.

Thanks ladies! Going to make these tomorrow.
Any one dipped them in chocolate yet? Is it really messy?
i just made cherry ripe balls and also boost balls.... yum yum yum yum yumm,,,,,,,,,
Leckert - I make choc mint balls by processing a packet of mint slice biscuits till crumbs, then mixing in 1/2 a tin of condensed milk and 1/2 a cup of desiccated coconut, then roll into balls and roll in more coconut. Simple and yummy!
I just rolled mine in coloured coconut so people could differentiate between flavours. (green = mint; red = cherry ripe; yellow = crunchie; orange = jafffa)
Might try the mint slice option next time- I was just remembering the cherry ripe version while at the shops so just grabbed the aerobars (and nice biscuits & condensed milk) as I wanted a "green" option to balance the red cherry ripes for a Christmas look :lol:
Ooh leckert that's what I was thinking to differentiate flavours too (thinking about bringing cherry ripe, mint & baileys) and I wanted to know with the coloured coconut, how did you do it? Do you just buy colouring and can you get that from supermarket? Would be interested to hear how you did it...

I just poured some food colouring into some coconut (used Queen brand coloring from supermarket - near the baking stuff) and mixed until the colour was even and dark enough in the coconut) Darker colour looks better when on the ball, found that out when doing the yellow ones as it didn't look right when on the ball even though I thought the colour was dark enough in the coconut - they looked too light more white than yellow - so added more yellow coloring and it looked much better.:
Hope that makes sense

Thanks heaps leckert! :) Went shopping today and found the food colouring and will be attempting this with DH tonight! Fingers crossed it all goes to plan, as we haven't used colouring before.

Yum!!!!!
Any chance anyone hasn't eaten these all on the day they're made so you can tell me how long they'll store for? I thought I might make cherry, peppermint, orange and coffee flavoured ones for my IL Christmas - I reckon they'd last at least a week in an airtight container in the fridge wouldn't they?
I froze a couple of batches and they defrosted really well. They were also very tasty when eaten frozen ;)
ah. Good idea
Well I know what tasty treats ill be taking to family Christmas this year! Yum!!! I might try coloring the coconut christmassy colours too...
Ooooooh definitely making these and giving everyone a box with their gifts :)
Me included hehe :)
DP loves the mint ones I make... Got to do them again for x-mas!
I love the mint ones :):
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
I make the recip from post 10 we have had them in the fridge in tupperware for up to 2mths :) mainly because I limit how many the kids can eat LOL
Yes Yes you do..... if your lucky some mint and crunchie ones might find their way to you :p:
Making the cherry ripe, crunchie and peppermint crisp ones today. Yummy
stupid question - do you mix the cherry ripe and peppermint together, or just halve the bikkies between them and do them separately? It reads like they go together but I can't get my head around that flavour combination!:
I admire your willpower having them that long ;-)
I made the peppermint crisp one today. If DH doesn't eat them all they are a good start for gifts.
Just back from the supermarket, making these to take along on Christmas Day... Making Mint Slice, Tim Tam and White Tim Tam ones... They should last well in the fridge until then, if I lock it! PMSL
Just made mint crisp batch and a cherry ripe batch. had to do a "trial" run....
Last year I made whole batches of each type (did a double batch of the cherry ripe ones) and then mixed flavours. The coloured coconut worked well to tell different flavours although you need to put in heaps of colouring to look good
yep thats how you do it together they are very yummy and the kids love them :):
Will have to give that a go then.
I made some today ready for my Christmas tree with chocolate ripple biscuits and two blocks of dark lindt orange chocolate. oh my they're good. Hopefully I'll be able to stay away from them long enough to construct my tree, then I won't be able to steal any!!
Made mine last night, slightly different but delicious:
1x packet choc ripple
1x packet mint slice or honeycomb biscuits
2x peppermint crisp or crunchies
1x tin sweetened condensed milk
Coconut.
I made 1 batch of peppermint & 1 batch of Crunchie the girls want to give some to DP's work mates ;)
These sound amazing! They are definitely being made in this house this year!
Made the cherry ripe balls for my work secret Santa morning tea and they were a great hit. Yummy!
So Making these on the weekend
I made the Oreo/PhillyCheese balls a few weeks ago (dipped in choc) - they were a massive hit (and I couldn't stop eating the leftovers)
OMG! I was just thinking about these ones. My friends mum was a chef and she made them recently and they were DEVINE!! Def making these this year. And the cherry ones. And the peppermint ones!:
This ms better stay away and let me enjoy!!
Okay where's the recipe for the Philly/Oreo balls?
2 x 150 g packets Oreo biscuits
250 g cream cheese eg philli 3313
White or milk chocolate, melted (optional)
Crush biscuits, combine with room temp cream cheese, roll into balls
Dip into melted choc and let them set in the fridge
I then used a white choc icing pen to decorate
I would be making these if DP didn't have a problem with coconut. DAMN his tastebuds. Maybe I could make a batch anyway..................... no.... no. I'd just eat them all myself. :rofl:
You could possibly skip the coconut as a test batch for us; just to see if they'd work ..... But then I'd be encouraging you :p:
Thanks for that - need to get some oeros and choc bits to melt :p:
