If comfort food had a cozy sweater and a glass of something smooth, it’d be this Irish whiskey bread pudding. Creamy, custardy, and studded with plump raisins (or chocolate chips, if you’re having a mood), it's the kind of dessert that hugs you from the inside.

St. Patrick’s Day is coming and being as it’s also my dad’s birthday, I thought there would be no better time than now to make a delicious Irish take on a chocolate cake. What makes it Irish?

Irish Car Bombs are a super tasty alcoholic drink that always makes it's appearance around St. Patrick's Day.
Don't know what an Irish Car Bomb is? Well, it's a fun little drink where you drop a shot of whiskey and irish cream into a Guinness beer and then quickly chug it down. You really have to chug it down before the cream curdles in the beer. Bleck! And you don't want that.
I always like to play around with combining drink recipes and dessert recipes. After all, what's more fun than cooking with alcohol? Not. Much...
