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!

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.

This recipe sure looks taste, but can I substitute any manufacturer of food coloring or will the fudge not be as pleasing to the eye. If you recommend that I stay with “green food coloring (amerigel soft color paste in leaf green)” then could you tell me where I can get amerigel soft color paste, as an internet search I am referred to wound and skin care products. Thank you for your assistance in this.
You should be able to use any brand, that’s just the one I used!
Do I have to use the alcohol or can I leave it out?
You can omit the alcohol, but the taste will be a little different.
what size pan
9×13
How much fudge does this make?
Depending on how large you slice the fudge, and what size pan you use, it will vary. I’d say between 12-24 pieces.
