Cherry Ripe Biscuits

If you thought my Chocolate Snickers Biscuits were yummy, wait until you try these Chocolate Cherry Ripe Biscuits!

When I spotted Cherry Ripe bars on special a little while ago I grabbed some with the intention of turning them into my favourite no bake Cherry Ripe Slice, but when I didn’t have any Marie biscuits in the pantry, I instead decided to add them to one of my favourite chocolate biscuit recipes.  I’ve made a few variations of this Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe now, and while I was (and still am!) in love with the Snickers version, this Cherry Ripe version has also quickly become a favourite.

I kept the pieces of Cherry Ripe quite big as I wanted to be able to bite into them when eating these biscuits, if you are using a Thermomix you could certainly use it to chop up the bars but I prefer to do it myself.  These biscuits do spread quite a bit when baking (thanks to the melted milk chocolate, so make sure you leave plenty of room between them, otherwise you made end up with one giant Cherry Ripe Biscuits – which wouldn’t be that bad I guess!
