Hello: Could anyone help me on the recipe I found posted on this site? It is for the Chocolate Covered Chocolate Cake Truffles,It calls for Bailey's liquor, but does not say how much to use. And also is this liquor Bailey's Irish Cream? I am not familiar with liquors.

I would say it's supposed to be 2 tablespoons, but I checked online and couldn't find the exact amount.

Thank you truleelee for looking. I couldn't find it either. But, I did go ahead and make them and used 2 tablespoons of liquor. They turned out really well.

You're welcome and I'm glad they turned out:)

Bailey's Chocolate Covered Truffles

Recipe: Bailey's Truffle Fudge

Date: November 7th 1997

3 c semisweet chocolate chips

1 c white chocolate chips

3 c powdered sugar

1/4 c butter

1 c Bailey's Irish Cream

1 1/2 c nuts, chopped -- optional

Truffle Topping:

1 c semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 c white chocolate chips

4 tbsp Bailey's Irish Cream

2 tbsp butter -- cut in pieces

Melt chocolates with butter until chocolates are soft enough to stir smooth. Do not overheat.

Add chocolate/butter mixture to powdered sugar and Baileys. Stir until smooth, add nuts and mix well. Place fudge in an 8" X 8" pan, oiled. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top and gently press to smooth fudge.

Truffle Topping:

Melt chocolates until soft. Remove from heat. With a fork, beat in butter and Baileys until smooth. Spread topping over fudge with knife. If a very smooth top is desired, place plastic wrap over top as in above. Refrigerate until firm; 1-2 hours.

Can be frozen.

Using All semi-sweet chips (instead of white chocolate) will yield a deeper, darker fudge.
