Baileys Blondies
I made one other Baileys inspired dessert this week before deciding I needed to save the rest for drinking. I wanted to make some fudgy brownies and decided instead to make blondies.
In my rush to finish baking though, I did make one mistake. I should have baked these in a 9 x 13 pan so that they’d be thin and chewy. Instead I baked them in a smaller pan, causing them to be more cakey than chewy. I still enjoyed the flavor though and I’ve adjusted the recipe below for the thinner version.
I love that you can taste the Irish cream. Next time I might add some flavored chocolate chips to make them a little less plain but these are still a great simple treat.
These blondies are really easy to whip up too. You don’t need a mixer, everything can be mixed by hand with a whisk and bowl.

These were terrific! Thanks for sharing the recipe. The only thing that I added was about a cup of Baileys Flavored Chocolate Chips and it was a good addition. I don’t know when they started making them but my wife brought home a bag of them the other day.
Now I need to find Baileys chocolate chips!
“2. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt microwave.” Maybe a bit too much of the old Irish cream there? Lovely idea though. The melted microwave AND the cakes. Thanks so much!
oops, thanks for catching that. It’s supposed to be melt butter.
St. Patrick’s day always sneaks up on me, every year… can’t believe I’ve never had Bailey’s before actually 😛 your dessert series is the first thing that’s actually made me want to go out and buy a bottle!
Oh you must try Baileys! it’s delicious. Whiskey, cream, chocolate, coffee. It tastes delicious on it’s own.
