Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Fudge
ThisBaileys Irish Cream Chocolate Fudge is a great festive treat to bring to a St. Patrick’s Day gathering. These bite-sized delights are decorated with shamrock and gold coin toppings along with green sparkly sugar sprinkles. All that fresh, green color has me thinking of Spring already!
This recipe uses mini marshmallows and butter which adds to its ultra-smooth texture. It also can be made on the stove top in a medium-large pot for 15 minutes. It has to set for 30 minutes at room temperature and then 1 hour in the refrigerator. You can store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. When taking it out of the refrigerator I suggest letting it cool to room temp before devouring!
Want to know the best part about this recipe? (Besides how good it tastes) It only takes 8 ingredients to make! Just like this Chocolate Walnut Fudge recipe! Who doesn’t love a simple yet super tasty fudge recipe? I know I do.
A square (or more) of this Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Fudge is so delicious when paired with a cup of hot coffee.
You can also enjoy this Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Fudge without the festive sprinkles and have it be all about the amazing Irish cream flavor. You can’t go wrong with that.
This Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Fudge recipe only calls for 1 teaspoon ofBaileys Original Irish Cream, so it’s not much yet still has that “hint” of flavor. It goes very well with the chocolate! You can certainly experiment with adding moreif you prefer a stronger flavor.

Instructions
Grease and 8" x 8" pan with butter and then line with 2 pieces parchment paper that are crisscrossed, leaving an overhang. Butter the paper and set aside pan. This step helps enable you to remove the formed fudge with ease from the pan later on.
Using a medium-large saucepan over medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of butter, 3 cups mini marshmallows, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup heavy cream and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir gently until the mini marshmallows are melted, this may take 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat, add 1 teaspoon Baileys Original Irish Cream, 12 ounces of semi sweet chocolate chip morsels and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and everything is combined. Pour into prepared 8" x 8" pan and gently shake to level out the fudge, after 5 minutes sprinkle optional holiday sprinkles and allow to cool at room temperature for 25 minutes. Cover and transfer to refrigerator and set for 1 hour.
When the fudge is completely set, use the overhang to gently lift the fudge onto a cutting board to cut for serving. Enjoy!

That doesn’t seem like much Bailey’s. Does it really take only a teaspoon?

Hi Joan, you can certainly add more to suit your taste. Though I wouldn’t add more than 1/4 cup because it may become runny. :)
