Kernel of truth: Baileys Caramelized Popcorn Easter Egg from Lir Chocolates

This Easter, the Taste Tester team was blessed with the new Baileys Caramelized Popcorn Egg. The indulgent 225g smooth milk chocolate shell is infused with the delectable flavor of Baileys Original Irish Cream, and packed with whole pieces of caramelized popcorn for a sweet and salty crunch. Embossed with the Baileys logo, this luxurious treat truly exceeded our eggspectations. But the delights don’ t stop there- fans of the iconic cream liqueur can also enjoy Baileys Truffles in Mint, Salted Caramel, Strawberries & Cream, and even Birthday Cake for those special occasions. This is chocolate as you have never known it, for a proper grown-up treat.
“ The Caramelized Popcorn Easter Egg is the best of both worlds!” our Taste Tester swooned.“ The popcorn’ s salty crunch pairs perfectly with the signature Baileys taste. I can’ t wait to explore more of the chocolate collection.”
