    An_Net's Note:

    These are an essential for the truffle plate at Christmas. They take minutes to make and look great. Dipping in dark chocolate and then drizzling white chocolate over the top looks divine. You could also use red/green sprinkles for that festive touch.

      The final result on these was yummy, but the process of getting there was a little frustrating. I'm not sure if it's just my equipment (although it's new and good quality, so I can't imagine that being the problem), but once I got all these sticky ingredients in bowl, the 'whirrling' came to a standstill. I think next time (and there will be a next time!) I will process the coconut by itself, remove. Briefly process the remaining ingred (so the cherries are still chunky) and then stir everything together by hand. Also, we live in a small town and I could get my hands on neither extract or liquer so I subbed 2 tbsp of dry cherry jello powder. Worked like a charm!

      These went down a treat at our family picnic on the weekend. I didn't have any cherry liqueur or extract so i doubled the amount of cherries. Very Very Yummy :)

      These were ridiculously easy to make and really delicious. They tasted like mini-Cherry Ripe balls. The pink coconut cherry filling looked amazing coated with the dark chocolate and I also added a few red sprinkles.
