Any dessert is great for game day, but you don’t want anything too fancy or too fussy. Football eats is all about finger foods, and this pertains to desserts, as well. So bars, cookies and cupcakes are great to have out on the table for anytime snacking.

And boozy desserts are even better for football parties! And these Baileys Irish Cream Cupcakes will certainly please a crowd of football fans!

Now I am not a huge alcohol drinker. In fact, I’m a huge lightweight. I don’t care too much for the flavor of alcohol and too much puts me to sleep. But, I do appreciate Baileys Irish Cream. This recipe has Baileys in the cupcake as well as in the frosting.

The frosting is to DIE FOR. It is not the usual crappy frosting you get from grocery store cupcakes. This frosting is in a class by itself. I made these for my neighbors and we were licking our fingers clean because of that Baileys frosting. So feel free to make too much of this frosting. It’ll be a mistake worth making.

Of course this isn’t a cupcake for the kiddos, even though the alcohol content is quite minimal. But there are plenty of desserts out there for the kiddos. We need more adult only desserts in this world. And covered in Baileys frosting, too.
