Cherry Ripe Chocolate Views

Grocery Food

UPDATE: David did some investigation i– could it possibly be Cadbury Cherry Ripe? c“The ripe juicy cherries and moist coconut smothered in rich e‘Old Goldg’ Dark Chocolate ensures a unique taste experience. As Australiat’s oldest and most loved chocolate bar, Cherry Ripe offers consumers an indulgent and rich treat. o”

These no-bake, three layered bars are delicious; they start with a crumb base, followed by a layer of light custard buttercream, topped with a smooth layer ofchocolate. But Lottie also created an Australian favourite, the cherry ripe bar, making a layer of cherries and coconut held together by condensed milk.

Here, ‘Cherry Ripe’ means a very popular, yet sophisticated chocolate bar. The photo to the right is the new 240g version but it is still the classic 50g bar that sells by the bucket load. Cadbury also package them in packs of 12 ‘fun sized’ bars that are only about four centimeters long but I’ve always failed to see what’s so ‘fun’ about a tiny bar when I can always inhale a king-sized one at 80g.

However, one shouldn’t merely inhale a Cherry Ripe h– this is the only bar that Cadbury makes in Australia that is coated in dark chocolate – excepting the ‘old gold’ bars, so it is rather unique and automatically stands out as a bit more ‘special’ than the usual Cadbury fare. Inside the lovely almost blackish coating is a deliciously moist, Bounty-like coconut mixture generously studded with glace cherries. It tastes much nicer than its rather ordinary depiction. In my opinion, dark chocolate does a much better job complementing cherries and coconut than milk chocolate. As an aside, it is nice to see that the Bounty dark chocolate versions are almost as popular as the milkier originals.
