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!

INSTRUCTIONS
- Line a square baking pan with aluminum foil.
- In a saucepan and on medium-low heat, melt chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until melted. Remove from heat and stir in 3 Tablespoon Irish Cream. Pour into prepared pan, spreading out evenly.
- Refrigerate for 1 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 from pan, remove foil from fudge and cut 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 turn the entire block of fudge upside down (green side down) and use a sharp knife to cut the fudge.
- 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.
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.

Seamus says
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 can omit the alcohol, but the taste will be a little different.

Depending on how large you slice the fudge, and what size pan you use, it will vary. I'd say between 12-24 pieces.
