Irish cream is a staple cold weather drink. As winter nears, there's probably ample amounts of Bailey's to go around. It's great in cocktails, on ice cream, and of course, in coffee. But sometimes there are only so many cocktails one can handle. Here are two other ways to get the most out of the staple winter liqueur, in food form, so you can incorporate it into your life a little bit more!
