I hope you haven’t had enough St. Patty’s Day ideas!!! I have a few more to share with you all – including these Mint Irish Cream Bars. The hubs had found these little mint cups (like a Reese’s mini – but with dark chocolate & filled with mint instead of peanut butter) & had been snacking on them here & there. I had been telling him I wanted to use them in a recipe & to keep his paws off them. Well after about a week he finally told me that if I didn’t do something with them soon- there wouldn’t be any left. I knew he wasn’t kidding – they would be gone! So I decided to use some of the Honey Irish Cream & the mint cups & make these bars. They were a huge hit.
These are great by themselves or with a little scoop of ice cream with it.
Again- like with the Mint Brownies I shared earlier this week- the alcohol bakes out – so everyone can enjoy.
