17 Boozy Recipes Using Baileys Irish Cream

From dreamy cocktails to booze infused desserts to a decadent breakfast recipe, you will have all the bases covered for your St. Patrick's Day celebration with these 17 Boozy Recipes Using Baileys Irish Cream...

I think by now that it is no big secret to you all that I love me some Baileys Irish Cream. ;) I love adding a splash of it to my coffee or hot cocoa on a cold winter night or drinking it straight over ice after a particularly long day. 

And I always seem to find a way to sneak a little Baileys into some of my dessert recipes & boozy concoctions for the blog. It is smooth and creamy and pairs perfectly with everything from chocolate to caramel to coffee.

Of course, one of my first experiences with Baileys is when I was challenged to do an Irish Car Bomb on one particular St. Patrick's Day some years ago. Let's just say that is NOT my favorite way to enjoy a little Baileys Irish Cream. ;) 

I am not much for chugging, and that is a drink that must be chugged. If you have ever happened to have had one, then I think you will know exactly what it is that I am talking about. 

While I am a fan of Baileys all year round, I especially get excited about Irish cream as we near closer to St. Patrick's Day. And with St. Patrick's Day just a couple of days away, I decided to scour some of my favorite food bloggers' sites to find the best Baileys spiked recipes to share with you all. 

From dreamy cocktails to booze infused desserts to a decadent breakfast recipe, I got all the bases covered for your St. Patrick's Day celebration with these 17 Boozy Recipes Using Baileys Irish Cream...
