Cherry Ripe Balls

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 ;-)

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

How embarassing going through the checkout with all these cherry ripe bars!!!!! Luckily they are on special :)

Oh and this peppermint crisp promo for nestle!!!! Gah!!! Anyone know any alternatives apart from mint slice biccies?

I made some orange balls using Lindt orange chocolate (two 100g blocks) so I guess you could use Lindt peppermint choc instead. The little crunchy bits in the peppermint crips add a really nice crunch though so getting an alternative with crispy bits in it would be better

oh dear.
these are super yum!
Im gonna be 3 sizes bigger after xmas

What combos are everyone going with for the cherry ripe ones? Im confused lol I have choc ripple, marie and arrowroot biccies to choose from.

Nice biscuits with my cherry ripes - that's after tea's job tonight
