How To Make No-Bake Cherry Ripe Bars

Step 1 – Chop the glace cherries

Finely chop glace cherries (I use the Greek yliko cherries) using a knife or blitz them in a food processor

Step 2 – Add the coconut and sweetened condensed milk

Mix the coconut and sweetened condensed milk with the chopped glace cherries until sticky and combined. 

Step 3 –  strawberry or cherry topping Syrup

To get that vibrant colour, mix through 4-5  drones to achieve colouring until well combined. 

Step 4 – Roll into balls

Roll the mixture into heaped teaspoon-sized balls and place onto a flat baking tray. If your mixture is too soft to roll into balls, add a little more coconut and mix again. Chill the balls in the freezer for 30 minutes before rolling it's much easier 

Melt dark chocolate in micro oven 

Place the chocolates in a glass bowl add a table spoon of the cooga butter ( this will help to harden chocolate after you roll the cherries ripe ) and place in microwave for 30 seconds take it out and with a clean dry rubber scraper stir then place it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds again take out and stir do this 3 times until chocolate has melted making sure not to let any water near it as it will harden chocolate.

Dip the cooled cherries rules in chocolate and place them on a tray with baking paper so it's easy to remove once they have set! Continue with the rest let cool and enjoy!
