Don't forget to provide guests with some sort of sweet at your St. Patrick's Day event. It's a party, so give the option of indulgence in the form of a dessert. These chocolate shots are great because they highlight the flavor of Bailey's Irish Cream, are gorgeous to look at, and are guaranteed to impress your guests. Even though they look complex, they are surprisingly easy to put together when you use packaged chocolate cups. The filling is a delicious mix of chocolate ganache, Baileys, and orange zest.

9I think that that is something I would do if the cups were easier to acquire...like at a grocery store instead of having it ordered online.
10One of my fave desserts is Bailey's Irish Cream Mousse Cake.
11aww yeaaaah!
12sunsmuckers - I haven't done it myself, but it seems fairly easy to make cups like this yourself. that's what I would probably do if I were to make this dessert. Here are two recipes with instructions to make cups: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_17973,00.htm...

I saw the ep of everyday italian where giada made these and it didn't look too difficult. of course, they make everything look easy.
that's a good price for those cups. that's enough to make me try them right there. that would be a fun treat to bring out at the end of a meal
