Baileys Salted Caramel Chocolate Pie

I was browsing Pinterest last week when I came across this delightful recipe from She Wears Many Hats for a Baileys Salted Caramel Chocolate Pie. It had me at Baileys. And chocolate. If you'll remember, I confessed to having quite the affinity for that scrumptious Irish cream. This would pair brilliantly with my morning cup o' Joe. (Who says you can't {responsibly} have boozy pie for breakfast?)

While this would have been extra lovely for Valentine's Day, in my book, every single day that ends in "y" is the perfect day for pie. I am planning to whip this up sometime soon.
