Baileys Irish Toffee Hot Chocolate is creamy, with buttery caramel notes. Stir in the marshmallows and toffee bits for a little touch of heaven! The wintery weather has been mild so far, but the wind and cold still make me want to curl up with a comfy blanket, good book, and a piping hot beverage. I loved hot chocolate as a kid and always had instant hot chocolate on hand while my girls were growing up. With the girls grown and off on their own life adventures, I rarely take the time to make hot chocolate. When I do, I go big and opt for homemade with piles of goodness on top.

Just look at all that deliciousness piled on top.

Baileys Irish Toffee Hot Chocolate is creamy, with buttery caramel notes. Stir in the marshmallows and toffee bits for a little touch of heaven! The team and I taste tested Baileys. Let’s just say it was a big hit. The color is creamy light tan. It looks a bit like coffee with decadent amount of creamer added to it or yummy chocolate milk. Faint Irish whiskey and hint of caramel is evident on the nose. Both of these aromas carry over in to the taste. We tasted Irish whiskey drenched in rich cream. There are also flavors of chocolate and caramel with light sweetness.

Baileys Original Irish Cream is best served chilled over ice in my opinion. It is also very good in coffee.
