With just a few days to go until Christmas, many festive hosts are stocking up on last-minute snacks and treats. For anyone looking for a showstopping dessert, Iceland might have the answer. The supermarket is selling a £4 Baileys dessert that’s earned rave reviews from shoppers.
On Iceland’s website, customers are loving the Baileys 12 Macarons 132g, which shoppers can find by searching the supermarket’s website. ‘Flavoured with the Taste of Baileys,’ the box of twelve macarons includes three flavours: coffee, chocolate, and salted caramel. At the time of writing, the dessert has an average rating of 4.5 stars out of five, with reviewers sharing lots of positive feedback for the ‘delicious’ and ‘enjoyable’ dessert.
Sharing their opinion, one reviewer commented: “I love these. Stunning Baileys flavour. Will definitely buy again.” Another fan said: “Just love them, can’t wait to get more.” Someone else wrote: “Loved these and enjoyed all three flavours, can’t fault them,” and a fan agreed: “All three flavours delicious.”
However, not all of the feedback was positive. A customer who was less impressed claimed: “Besides the concentrated taste of sugar, you can barely taste the Baileys.” Sharing a different criticism, someone else praised the flavour but said they wished the desserts were larger.
Their comment read: “Love them, they are delicious and the taste of Baileys does come through. Why so small though? They are tiny.” A similar response read: “Great macarons, they defrost quickly and have a great Baileys flavour. Why so small though? These are tiny.”

Nonetheless, the majority of reviews were positive. A different fan wrote: “My favourite was the Baileys macaron. It has such a lovely, strong taste of Baileys.” Someone else thought: “Undeniable Bailey’s taste. Very enjoyable.”
For shoppers looking for something different, Iceland sells a selection of Baileys desserts, and many of the desserts are currently on offer. For example, the supermarket has reduced the Baileys Iced Yule Log 595g from £8 to £4. The product description says the yule log includes Baileys salted caramel mousse, dark chocolate sauce and chocolate-flavoured meringue, sprinkled with a gold coloured cocoa dusting.
The Baileys Crème Brûlée 395g has been discounted from £7 to £3.50. The description says the dessert has Baileys set custard, topped with demerara sugar.

Another offer has seen the Baileys Caramel Pavlova Stack 480g reduced from £10 to £5. For £3, Iceland also sells Baileys 4 Mince Pies. The description says the desserts are made from vine fruit mincemeat containing brandy, port and candied mixed peel filled into shortcrust pastry cases.
The description adds that the mince pies are topped with an Irish cream liqueur buttercream, with a sprinkling of gold coloured sugar decoration and a sweet dusting. Once more, the dessert impressed shoppers. One reviewer wrote: “These were the best mince pies I’ve had so far this year.
“The pastry was crumbly and buttery with a generous amount of fruit inside, and the Bailey’s buttercream was filled with Baileys flavour and plentiful. They were finished with a lovely gold candy so not only did they taste fantastic but also looked great. Will certainly be buying more.”
