    • Yes, just up the cream content to replace the amount of Baileys you would have used. It doesn’t have to be too exact, though – the ganache is pretty forgiving if you don’t get the amounts spot on.

    • Normal caramel would work fine as long as it’s quite a firm kind (ie not a really loose sauce). And milk chocolate would be ok but you might want to reduce the cream content a bit as milk chocolate is softer than dark chocolate and so the ganache might take a long time to set.

      • Thanks for that, I was just going to use the ingredients I’d got in but when I’ve come to look the kids have eaten the chocolate anyway so a trip to the shop for dark chocolate it is lol

  21. I saw this on Instagram and it made me drool. Love Baileys in dessert and I’m obsessed with salted caramel. I make a baileys fudge pie with salted caramel cream and it was dreamy. I’m going to have to make this!

  23. Ooh these look rather naughty. Definitely something I think I’d love for treat time. Wondering if they’d work with my gluten free crust…
