Well if you love Irish Cream liqueur you will enjoy these chocolate candies. They are super easy to make and wonderful choice to make for St. Patrick's Day. Just melt the ingredients till well combined but 'DO NOT COOK' or it will start to turn into more of a caramel. ---Adopted this recipe from the St. Patrick's Day group.
