Place milk chocolate in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl.

Stir with a metal spoon until chocolate and cream mixture is smooth.
Stir in the Baileys (or you can use Kahlua).
Place in the fridge for 4 hours to chill.
Line a tray with aluminium foil or baking paper.
Roll 2 teaspoonfuls of chocolate mixture into a ball.
Place on the prepared tray.
Repeat with remaining chocolate mixture.
Place in the fridge for 1 hour or until firm.
Place white chocolate in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave, uncovered, on medium (50 percent) for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every minute with a metal spoon, or until melted and smooth.
Using a fork, dip truffles in chocolate, shaking off excess chocolate.
Return truffles to tray.
Top each truffle with chocolate sprinkles.
Refrigerate until set.
