[cookie1]

Welcome to the forum Zada. Perhgaps you would like to go to Intoduce yourself and tell us a little about yourself and your TMX adventures.

[Zada]

Thanks cookie I'm in the intro forum somewhere 

[judydawn]

Yes, here you are Zada.  Cookie, you are excused as we all know how busy you have been lately 

[Amy :-)]

I made a triple batch of these for a bake sale fundraiser

Just a tip for anyone as stupid as me... don't try a triple batch all at once MESSY

But I saved the mixture and mum says they taste awesome... "BETTER THAN CHERRY RIPES!!!"

Some are a bit messy, but what can you expect at 1am

[Wonder]

I really need to try these, cherry ripes are the one chocolate I'm quite partial to.

I am half way through making these. After 3 Hours the mixture is not hard. Maybe the rum soaked cherries have something to do with this.

Do you use cooking choc or ordinary choc to coat the balls?.

[judydawn]

I use good quality chocolate for dipping things courton, in fact I rarely use cooking chocolate at all.

I used Old Gold dark chocolate

Try adding more coconut?

I use good quality chocolate like Judy and Amy

Let us know how they turn out

[courton]

Leaving it overnight and investing in a choc dipping spoon seems to have done the trick. Thanks everyone. Lindt dark choc made it easy to coat the balls.

[Aussie Brenda]

Hi Courton, i left mine overnight too they are nice and firm now, I have bought the Lindt choc but been to busy today to coat them just keep eating one every now and then, at this rate there won't be that many left to do tomorrow.

Bumping this recipe, these are a family christmas favorite.
  I add  3 drops of cherry essence and red food coloring. So much easier to make than the old days before thermomix.

I just made a double batch of these in cherry, and another double batch in apricot. Yum

[Itsnotartitsdinner]

These are on my list for today. Just need to get to the shopping centre.

[goldfish]

Made these this time last year!! Making them again! They're a real hit with my family!
