Cherry Ripe Bites

"Cherry Ripes weren't necessarily my favourite chocolates growing up as a kid - but there is an exception when it comes to these lil' guys. Loaded with Morlife dried sweet cranberries, sour cherries, creamy coconut and covered in the most amazing vegan chocolate you will taste - you really can't go wrong! These are perfect to have on hand when those sweet cravings kick in, they are loaded with antioxidants and are well, just delicious" - Sam Murphy, So Beautifully Raw
