Ever since Baileys dipped their toe into the world of chocolate truffles, it’s clear that people loved it because they’ve brought out more and more delicious twists on it. Strawberry & Cream, Salted Caramel, Espresso… and now the intriguing Birthday Cake.
The tantalising dance of rich Irish dairy cream, luscious chocolate, sweet vanilla and of course, seductive Irish whiskey seems to be a dreamy pairing with so many flavours, and with vanilla cake inspiring these latest truffles, it looks like a winner from the off.
They’ve teamed up with Dublin chocolatiers Lir who will be providing the indulgent white chocolate shell and vanilla truffle centre, which has been infused with the original Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur – nom.
It’s not the first collaboration between the pair, with the Nut Mix coated in Baileys flavoured chocolate released at the end of last year. Other collaborations with Cart D’Or, LiQ and the Finsbury Food Group show that we really are happy to buy Baileys with anything, and can we really be blamed.
The 135-gram packages will be available for £4 at a few different retailers like Card Factory, The Range, B&M and TK Maxx, so keep an eye as a sweet gift for Baileys lovers on their birthday.
If all this talk of Irish Cream has got you in the mood, then how about these cocktails that place it front and centre. And with this new truffle you’ve got the perfect garnish now too. It’s Christmas somewhere after all. Okay, so obviously it isn’t. But it’s nearly Easter, and that’s good enough. Treat yourself!
