These Bailey’s Irish Cream Easter Eggs Are Perfect For Adult Easter Baskets

Easter’s just around the corner, and we can smell spring in the air—along with all our favorite Easter recipes. Of course, we’ve got Easter treats galore, like the brand new Peeps Cake-In-A-Cup that are absolutely perfect for stuffing Easter baskets. But while the kids get into gear for the (socially-distanced) Easter Egg hunt, we’ve got our eye on some grown-up candy that’s perfect for our baskets—because Easter should be celebrated by everybody!

Everyone’s favorite Irish liqueur company just released the Bailey’s Irish Cream Easter egg, and it’s a boozy, chocolaty delight.

It’s Eggs-actly What We Need

Bailey’s Double Chocolate Egg comes with a hard chocolate outer shell with a decadent, creamy Bailey’s flavored center, just like your favorite chocolate truffles. They’re as rich as the drink and come dusted with gold and wrapped in sparkly foil for a festive feel. These mini-eggs are available in an elegant-looking nine-count box, which sounds like a lot—but we’re sure we’ll be wanting more! Don’t forget that it’s 21+—the box reminds you that it’s meant only for grown-ups.

That’s not all: You can also get a GIANT Bailey’s Salted Caramel Egg that weighs in at just under half a pound, which also comes dusted in gold and packaged in a classic Bailey’s box. This treat might not fit in an Easter basket, but it’s definitely worth trying for the mix of Irish cream and salted caramel. As an added bonus, it comes with 4 delicious mini Bailey’s chocolates.

Where Can I Get These Eggs-travagant Treats?

Puns aside, the Bailey’s Irish Cream Easter Eggs are available on Carroll’s Irish Gifts for just $12.  It’s been a long year, so we suggest you get your hands on these ASAP to treat yourself because we definitely are.
