Barb O'Hara says
Love your recipes but need your help. Have a young Irish Dr. and bake sweets each mo. when I go for my shots so I cannot use these Baileys recipe and feel comfortable. When substituting with Bailey’s coffee creamer, do I use the same measurement and would the staff realize I’m not bringing boozy desserts.
Tara Noland says
Might depend on the recipe but I would say you can substitute one for one. You might be surprised at how a little boozy treat gets received though as long as it is not too much. I know our grand marnier cherries are a hit with everyone!!
