Chocolate Ripple Christmas Balls | Peppermint Crisp & Cherry Ripe

The easiest no-bake Chocolate Ripple Christmas Balls made in two yummy variations – one with chopped up Peppermint Crisp bars and one with Cherry Ripes. YUM!!

Do you know what!!?? These Chocolate Ripple Christmas Balls might just be my newest favourite recipe!! I know.. I know… big call, right? But they totally deserve the title, because:

• they’re no-bake (hellllooooo no-bakey goodness!);
• they take 10 minutes to make;
• they’re pretty much the ultimate Christmas party treat;
• AND (most importantly), they taste so damn delicious.

I was tossing up whether to make Cherry Ripe Christmas Balls or Peppermint Crisp Christmas Balls (and if you’ve been visiting Bake Play Smile for a while, you’ll know that I am up there as one of the most indecisive people in the world). And so, I decided to split the packet of chocolate ripple biscuits and make both versions. Good call. Very good call.

If you’re a massive fan of just Cherry Ripes or just Peppermint Crisps, then feel free to double the recipe and make just 1 batch. BUUUUTTT!! If you like a bit of cherry goodness AND some peppermint deliciousness in your life, then make both. I promise your tummy will thank you.

Oooh and in case you’re wondering… these Chocolate Ripple Christmas Balls are virtually exactly the same as my fave Chocolate Coconut Balls – but obviously with the extra chocolates to flavour them. And if you’ve made my good old choc coconut balls (or rumballs) before, then you’ll know how simple these are.

And of course, if you’ve got kiddies at home, then this is an awesome recipe to get them involved in. I’ve just bought a little step stool for Will in the kitchen so he can help (and so I don’t have to hold him on my hip the whole time we cook!!). It’s very cute and he calls it his ‘sep ooooool’. Mind you, he’s not the greatest kitchen helper just yet, as he’s pretty big on eating the ingredients as we go. We’ll get there!

Anyway, enough of my babbling on.. go grab the ingredients and get these babies going! You’re going to LOVE them!! Chocolate Ripple Christmas Balls for the win!!

PS. Are you more of a Cherry Ripe or Peppermint Crisp fan?? Or are you just totally indecisive like me??
