New Baileys flavoured treats appear on shelves of three bargain supermarkets – but shoppers are divided

Fans of sweet treats are swarming to three bargain shops to get a fresh assortment of Baileys sweets.

This Christmas, Baileys Eclairs and Baileys Indulgent Biscuits have both been observed on store shelves.

The creamy confections have been supplied by Aldi and Home Bargains, and astute shoppers were thrilled to discover that they are also available at Iceland.

Numerous customers expressed their admiration for the creamy discovery in the Iceland website’s comment section.

One person commented: “Wow, that’s really good.

“You can taste the Baileys in the very generous cream, will definitely buy again.”

An other comment said, “Very nice, lots of Baileys in a small eclair.”

According to a third user, “Delicious, just the right amount of Baileys cream.”

But not everybody was in agreement.

“Happy I didn’t pay full price for them,” one person wrote.

“I wont be buying any for myself for Christmas and will have to decide whether I still give them as gifts or give them to the local church for Christmas raffle – maybe with a very sweet warning attached.”

Another voiced dissatisfaction, saying: “It was smaller than anticipated and had an odd aftertaste.

“They don’t taste like proper Baileys, more like a cheap imitation.”

Customers are nonetheless eager to taste the new Baileys line in spite of the conflicting assessments.

The Baileys Indulgent Biscuits are said to be buttery without being overbearing and to have a faint liqueur undertone.

These Baileys Milk Chocolate Creams are made with a combination of milk chocolate and a creamy whisky filling.

The little eclairs are made with light pastry, a smooth chocolate coating, and a creamy Baileys-flavored filling.

These come frozen in a 12-piece bag, and before eating, the directions advise defrosting them for half an hour.

How to save money on Baileys

There are some clever ways to avoid overspending on Baileys this holiday season if you’re a sucker for that creamy Irish whiskey liqueur.

One option if you want to save money on gifts is a Baileys dupe, which has been called “almost perfect.”

If you’re prepared to let go of the litre bottle you can purchase the 70cl Ballycastle cream liqueur for 5.79 – just 82p per 100ml.

On Facebook, customers have praised the product as “gorgeous” and “lush”.

The Ballycastle product also comes in various flavours, such as the newest addition, which is a luscious Milk Chocolate Clementine version for 7.49.

If you fancy giving something new a try, this could save you up to a whopping 16.21 on one bottle of Baileys.

For the price of one Baileys bottle from Morrisons or Asda, 22.00, you could nearly buy four bottles of the Ballycastle.

However, keep in mind that the ABV of Bailey’s is 16 per cent, the Ballycastle booze is 12 per cent.

Other supermarkets which offer up their own Baileys dupes include Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrison’s, Asda, Lidl and M&S.
