This St. Patrick’s Day dessert is only for the grown-ups. Leprechaun Balls have both Irish whiskey and Bailey’s in them. Four or five of these will roughly equal a shot, so overindulgence could certainly make you loopy. Too many of these alcoholic little green dessert treats, and you might end out kissing more than a Blarney Stone, this Saint Patrick’s Day…lol.

Print Leprechaun Balls : Green St. Patrick's day Dessert Prep Time 18 minutes Cook Time 2 minutes Total Time 20 minutes Author Robin Gagnon Ingredients box of vanilla wafers

1/2 cup Baileys

1/4 cup Irish Whiskey

2 tsp. cocoa powder

white chocolate + green food coloring or green candy melts

*optional holiday candy sprinkles Instructions Crush the vanilla wafers in food processor (or in a plastic bag)

Separate the crushed wafers 2/3 in one bowl, 1/3 in another.

Add cocoa powder to smaller portion.

Pour Bailey's into the larger portion of wafers, and mix thoroughly.

Pour Irish whiskey into the cocoa & wafer mixture. Mix well.

Make small (approx. 1/2 tsp size) balls from the whiskey blend.

Take a scoop of the Bailey's mixture into the palm of your hand and press with fingers of your other hand to flatten out.

Put a whiskey ball in center, and wrap the flattened Bailey's mix around it. Top with a little more of the Bailey's mix to cover, then roll between palms to form a ball. Repeat.

Melt the candy melts or white chocolate (add a few drops of green food coloring if you like).

Use chopsticks (or pop sticks) to dip the balls to coat. (Roll in sprinkles while still a bit warm if you choose)

Allow to cool on the sticks, or place on waxed paper. Notes Approx 4-5 of these will equal a shot.

The Leprechaun Balls can also easily be popped on a stick, if you prefer.
