Baileys Lucky S’more Bars

A s’mores bar layered with a thick graham cracker crust, a spiked fudgy brownie and Lucky Charms marshmallows. You can thank me later 🙂

With a little inspiration from my bestie, I was able to decide on my final St. Patrick’s Day dish for Luck of the Irish Week. I had all sorts of ideas and St. Patrick’s Day ingredients laying around, but I just couldn’t decide on what exactly I wanted to make. So with a little brainstorming with my bestie {sorry for bugging you while you were working 🙂 love you}}, I decided on these Baileys Irish S’more Bars…. but they’re actually more like a S’mores Brownie Bar… I also couldn’t figure out what to call them either… super indecisive today 🙁

Anyone who knows me, should know that I’m a huge fan of bonfires and s’mores. What’s not to like? Cooler of beer, tailgates, some of my closest friends, chocolate, and gooey marshmallows. Yum, yeah that sounds pretty awesome to me. Anyone want to join me for a bonfire in the snow?!

PS. The weatherman is calling for up to two feet in the next week. Ugh. Spring where are you at?! 

While I was out shopping the other day, I ran onto (which they have always been there) some plain Lucky Charms marshmallows. I just had to get them because with St. Patrick’s Day coming up… I knew they’d be perfect!

When I got home though… that’s when I couldn’t make up my mind on what I wanted. The bestie suggested a S’mores Bar and I instantly thought, Baileys Brownie. I mean what’s St. Patty’s without Baileys? Or is that green beer?? Yeah, I don’t know either. 

These bars start out with a nice thick layer of graham cracker crust, followed but a fudgy Baileys infused brownie and topped with marshmallows. The brownie layer is made with semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of cocoa like my Fudgy Brownies, but still the best part is then…… Baileys of course. Can’t you tell I’m just a huge Baileys fan?? **If you don’t have Baileys on hand or just want to make a non-spiked version, just just milk instead**

I was a little worried when I was throwing this together. I thought maybe the crust would be too dry, the brownie would be under cooked and the Lucky Charms marshmallows would melt too much. Luckily, none of those things happened! They turned out perfectly delicious! 

So when you’re throwing your St. Patty’s Day party or heading over to your friends, be sure to take this with you! I promise, they won’t last very long… which can either be a good thing or bad thing. Whichever way you want to look at it 🙂 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day ya’ll! Recipe Card
