Bakers, get your aprons on, because Baileys (yes, that Baileys) is selling the world’s most tempting baking ingredient: Baileys Irish Cream Baking Chips. These delicious morsels were so popular on first release that they sold out in just two days. Luckily, we didn’t lose them forever. Now, you can include them in all your signature dishes. (We’ll call it a secret ingredient.)
Here’s what you need to know:
You Can Find Them on Instacart
Believe it or not, these chips can be hard to find. Luckily you have Instacart to guide the way, and these chips are available for a little less than $4 for a 12-ounce bag, which is the perfect price considering all the holiday baking you’re about to do with these. Just change the location on Instacart to see if your local supermarket has them—and keep your fingers crossed!
If these baking chips aren’t available in your region, you can also buy them online. Amazon has them for around $10, which is a little steeper than the price you’ll find in stores or on Instacart. Worth it to have all that goodness delivered straight to your door, though, no?
Baileys Chips Won’t Give You a Buzz
The best thing about Baileys is that Irish cream is boozy. It’s an essential ingredient for the classic Irish coffee. Baileys chips skip the alcohol but manage to capture the trademark taste of their Irish cream liqueur in a chip that’s safe for everyone to nosh on. The advantage to the Irish cream chips is that you get that classic taste without the alcohol, in case you crave the flavor but not the tipsiness that comes with it.
Psst… Have you ever made Irish cream at home?
They’re Easy to Bake With
Any dessert recipe you can think to include chocolate chips in can now be made with a dash of velvety Irish cream. Just find the right recipe to experiment with!
Hint: We’d start with Baileys chocolate chip cookies, a batch of Baileys fudge or chocolate-dipped strawberries with an Irish kick.

Chocolate Pecan Skillet Cookie
Bake up the ultimate shareable cookie. For variety, replace the chocolate chips with an equal quantity of M&M's or chocolate chunks.

Norwegian Chocolate Chip Cookies
My best friend, Amber, taught me how to make this classic Norwegian dessert. They are a great mash-up of a sugar and chocolate chip cookie. A pizza cutter is the best tool for cutting into slices after baking. —Bonnie Brien, Surprise, Arizona
Chewy Chocolate Cookies
This cookie recipe—a favorite of our four children—has been in my collection for years. Sometimes I'll substitute mint-flavored chips for the semisweet chocolate chips. Either way, the chocolate cookies disappear quickly. This is one of our favorite easy chocolate chip cookie recipes. —Sheri Ziesemer, Olympia, Washington

White Chocolate Cookies
Fixing desserts is my favorite kind of cooking. I usually make these cookies for Christmas—their pale-white adds a special touch to all the reds and greens. We—my husband, our daughter (6) and I—live on a real dirt road! I'm a full-time wife and mother. Our second child's due to join us in mid-January.

These big country cookies are made to travel—in fact, I came up with this recipe while trying to match a commercial cookie that was good, but too crumbly to carry. —Jamie Hirsch, Powell, Wyoming
