It’s almost that time….everyone goes green and stuffs their faces with all sorts of minty treats in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, but my favorite part is all of the Irish Cream that we get to enjoy at this festive time of year…YUM! Who doesn’t love a little Bailey’s? This Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Fudge Recipe is the perfect answer to your Saint Patrick’s Day dessert desires!

What could be better than Irish Cream, chocolate and FUDGE? Not much, honestly. And this Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Fudge recipe is just SO cute to boot!

I went to Ireland for the first time after posting this Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Fudge Recipe, and let me tell you…I fell even more in love with the Irish culture, even though I hadn’t previously thought that was possible! Ireland was a place full of warm, friendly people, deliciously hearty food, and amazing Irish beer! Oh, and I did I mention…very handsome barmen and Jameson ON TAP? I wandered around the Ring of Kerry on a 5 day small group tour courtesy of Rabbies Tours and I became incredibly enamored with Ireland and the people of Ireland. You can read more about how to Explore the Ring of Kerry in Ireland here.

I also came to a great moment of self-realization while in Ireland, which you can read about in this post: I am That Random Girl at the Bar Alone. But enough about my amazing, fun-filled adventure in Ireland…just suffice it to say that I can’t wait until I have my finances under control and can afford to go back!

This Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Fudge Recipe is full of everything that adults love about Saint Patrick’s Day: Baily’s Irish Cream, green, chocolate, mint…and sprinkles! I guess the same could be said about children during Saint Patrick’s Day, minus the Baily’s Irish Cream! *giggles*

Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Fudge Recipe

Ingredients

1 package (12oz) semi-sweet baking chips
3 cups white chocolate baking chips (about one and a half 11 ounce packages)
2 cans (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons Irish Cream liquor
Green Food Coloring – amerigel soft color paste in leaf green
St. Patrick’s Day Sprinkles (Wilton brand used)

Are you unsure of where to buy the various ingredients in this recipe? Check out Amazon! They have lots of baking supplies!

Directions

Line a square baking pan with aluminum foil. This will allow you to remove the finished fudge product without breaking it into pieces.

In a saucepan and on medium-low heat, melt the chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk. Stir this mixture constantly until it is completely melted. Once you have a thick, creamy mixture, remove from the pan from the stove and stir in 3 Tablespoons of Irish Cream. Of course you can use any brand of Irish Cream, but let’s face it – we all love Baily’s Irish Cream the best, don’t we? No, you CAN add more Irish Cream to this recipe if you like, but these aren’t jello shots! We’re using the Irish Cream for the taste, not to catch a buzz, folks! Adjust this recipe at your own risk. Pour it into prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.

Refrigerate this portion of the recipe for about one hour.

In a saucepan and on medium-low heat, melt white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and green food coloring. Stir constantly until melted. Remove from heat and pour on top of chocolate fudge in pan. Add sprinkles to top and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.

Remove it from the pan, remove the foil from the solid fudge and cut your fudge into cubes and serve!

Note: The bottom chocolate layer will be a little softer than the top, green layer. If you struggle to cut it into bars, you can try turning the entire block of fudge upside down (green side down) and use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares.

Another option is to toss the fudge into the freezer for about 2-3 hours and then remove it from the foil and slice it! I opt for this option, because it will be completely solid and the squares will cut very cleanly.
