Baileys Bliss – How to Pair Baileys with Chocolate This Easter
Who says Easter is just for kids? This year, lean into the grown-up version of indulgence — rich, creamy Baileys poured over ice, and paired with luscious chocolates, desserts, and playful treats that bring out the best in this iconic Irish favourite.
From the silky Baileys Original to the ultra-luxe Baileys Chocolate Liqueur (featuring real Belgian chocolate!), we’ve rounded up pairing ideas that’ll have your Easter weekend tasting like a dream.
Tasting Notes: Creamy, smooth, with notes of vanilla, cocoa, and a warm whiskey finish.
Pair It With:
Milk Chocolate Bunnies or Easter Eggs – A melt-on-the-tongue pairing that enhances the Baileys vanilla sweetness.
Salted Caramel Chocolates – Balances richness with a hint of savoury indulgence.
Chocolate-Covered Strawberries – Perfect for an easy yet elegant dessert option.
Serving Ideas:
Over Ice with Easter Treats on the Side
Baileys Hot Chocolate Bar – Add a splash of Baileys to hot chocolate, and top with whipped cream, mini eggs, and crushed cookies.
Fun Easter Twist: Make Baileys “Mini Egg” Shots – layer crushed mini eggs in shot glasses, top with a Baileys pour, and garnish with more chocolate bits.

Dark Chocolate Truffles – Let the melted chocolate notes from the liqueur blend with the richness of high-quality cocoa.
Chocolate Mousse or Brownie Bites – A double-choc indulgence with a creamy finish.
Baileys Chocolate Eggs or Filled Chocolates – Intensify the flavour profile by matching chocolate inside and out.
