My mother's maiden name is Bailey. My middle name is Bailey. So I like the name, Bailey. It was only obvious I would LOVE Bailey's Irish Cream. Baileys Truffles are the obvious choice for a chocoholic.

Chocolate is one of my true loves. I have always been a fan of milk chocolate. It's creamier and sweeter than dark. Isn't it the clear winner? Anyways, truffles were requested and as other people would be eating these truffles with some port I figured I should do dark chocolate. Ugh, how I dreaded the thought.

Truffles sound so fancy. Don't they? The great thing is they are not fancy to make! Easy peasy people! The only downside is the time you have to wait for the chocolate to set.

These baileys chocolate truffles are perfect for gift giving or a dessert to bring to a Christmas party. Or to stuff your face with. I'm not judging.

Chocolate, Baileys & Cream: Triple-Delight Flavor

Good Quality Dark Chocolate Using chopped baking chocolate or callets ensures a silky, deeply chocolatey base.
Heavy Whipping Cream Rich and fatty, cream creates the smooth ganache that's soft but sets with structure.
Butter Adds richness and slightly softens the ganache for smoother texture.
Baileys Irish Cream Infuses the truffles with boozy warmth and creamy flavor-fully optional in terms of flavor strength.
Dutch-Process Cocoa Powder Used for coating, it lends a smooth, less acidic finish and a clean appearance.

Some people like to roll truffles in toasted coconut, graham cracker crumbs, or chopped nuts. Next, try these Sea Salt Truffles Recipe.
