Real Food Cherry Ripe
Farmer invented the Real Food Bounty Bar so it was only fair I needed to come up with a different variety. I loved cherry ripe growing up so decided to use my last batch of Loving Earth sour cherries to create a cherry ripe. Quirky Jo’s condensed milk was of course a secret ingredient as well as the gorgeous Loving Earth chocolate which coated the cherry filling.
