In Australia we have a delicious and well known chocolate cherry and coconut bar called the Cherry Ripe. This chocolate bar is an Aussie icon chocolate treat so I created this recipe as a version of this favourite classic with extra nutrients and raw whole ingredients that you can enjoy as a nutritious treat! It’s packed with antioxidants particularly the cherries that are well known for their benefits for chronic inflammatory joint disease and they also have the benefits of supporting sleep, they contain melatonin which enhances sleep onset, depth and length of sleep.
