Bailey's & Hazelnut Chocolate Brownie Parfait

Bailey's & Hazelnut Chocolate Brownie Parfait

I love easy dessert recipes that are simple but delicious! I've got both in these Bailey's Brownie Chocolate Pudding Hazelnut Parfaits. You can serve them in individual glasses shown here or you can make one large trifle. Either way, the hombre layers are elegant and add interest and the flavors of Irish cream, hazelnut and chocolate incorporate some of my favorite flavors of the season in one yummy dessert! If you are serving to kids, I would substitute the Bailey's for an Irish cream flavored coffee creamer in the pudding. The flavors will be more subtle but equally delicious! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

For the Bailey's brownies:

  • 1 box brownie mix (I used Betty Crocker's Fudge Brownie Mix and below are the ingredients it uses plus the addition of the Bailey's and Nutella. You can use whichever boxed brownie mix you like and prepare as instructed along with the added Bailey's and Nutella).
