    I made these. They are really good. I used some black cherry flavoring I had on hand. Next time I’m using more. I couldn’t find the cherry essence on line or in the store. I will make this yumminess again. It’s so pretty too and bot too heavy when you at it. Maybe one day I’ll add a few cherries (I’ll just take the carb hit) Thanks for the recipe.

  2. Omgoodness! Can’t wait to make these. Cherry Ripes are one of the many things I miss about home now that I live in the US.
