So, I struck up a correspondence on social media recently.Ok, I do that a lot...but this one in particular introduced me to something new. Well, new to me, anyway.
This person mentioned soaking gummi bears in vodka.
I like vodka.
I like gummi bears.
She didn't know the details, just said that a lot of college kids were doing it...sigh..yes, I KNOW! Wrong on so many levels...but I figured what the heck. I was meeting strangers on the internet, who knows what a crazy road was on!
Whipped Cream flavored vodka, and Brach's Gummi bears, in a jar. How hard can it be?
Just for giggles I googled myself over to this blog:
Mix That Drink after I did this:
And since it had to sit in the fridge, and my kids have candy radar and were already asking for what was left in the bag, I added this:
Very proud of my DIY skilz, I then READ the directions that said to not put it in plastic. oops. Quick swap of jars:
And waaaaay into the back of the fridge it went. For 5 days, although I snibbled on Day 3 and was very pleased.
On Day 5 I had a nasty stomach virus, so the poor gummis had to hang out for a few more days. Until today!
They plumped up quite a bit, although not as fat as I would have imagined. It looks like there is more liquid in the jar than there is, maybe a tablespoon was left.
Almost too cute to eat.
Almost.
They are a little slimey (but still have some chewy) to them so I used a tiny, silver spoon (you know, to class up the fact that I was eating vodka soaked kid candy in the middle of the day).
