Hi Suzanne. Nice recipe, but two cups of icing sugar is toooooooo much sugar. But for those younger people, who are more active and may not care too much about their sugar intake, well, this will be a lovely dessert for them. Thankyou Suzanne. Have a lovely day.

It's actually not too much icing sugar when you see it makes 35.
These are a treat and not something I'm saying to make every day. Icing sugar isn't as bad as sugar .

I reward myself with ny favourite indulgent which is chocolate.
And I eat no other fatty foods

Good evening dear Suzanne, icing sugar is very finely ground sugar with a bit of corn starch. It is actually comprised of sugar with a different texture. Those with type 1 diabetes may not feel too safe taking on board these tempting Chocolate Cherry Bslls. But for those who can take accept icing sugar in their diet, enjoy with hsppiness. Have a pleasant evening.

There are no cherries in this. The coconut ,chocolate and colouring gives the same affect as cherry ripe. The red colour represents cherry
In cherry ripe it has glaced cherries which I hate and actually adds no flavour.
If you want to add some chopped glaced cherries you can. Add around 1/4 of a cup finely chopped

I only post recipes how myself, my family and friends like.
I try every recipe before posting and only the ones we love.

Also I often change recipes
