What could be better than Irish Cream liqueur and milk chocolate and a chocolate fudge recipe? Not much, honestly.
I went to Ireland for the first time after posting this Saint Patrick’s Day Baileys Irish Cream Fudge, 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?

No, you do not have to refrigerate Bailey's Irish Cream. The alcohol acts as a natural preservative for the product. Under normal conditions of storage, Baileys Irish Cream has a shelf-life of 24 months.
Please 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.

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!
Brooke
Do I have to use the alcohol or can I leave it out?
Jenn
You can omit the alcohol, but the taste will be a little different.
Grace

How much fudge does this make?
Jenn
Depending on how large you slice the fudge, and what size pan you use, it will vary. I'd say between 12-24 pieces.
