For the grown-ups, vodka-infused gummy bears

Just a word of warning. These are incredibly addictive, and can make one quite heady quite quickly.

These have been an absolute hit at dinner parties. It’s dead easy to make, but does require some forward planning as it takes at least a day in advance, preferably two, for the gummy bears to achieve that luscious jelly like consistency. Also, it seems the Haribo brand of gummy bears works best for this as they tend to be a lot more dense than other brands, and does better at soaking up the vodka without fear of becoming a gloopy mess. And on that note, be warned that these tend to go down way too easily once you start popping them, so be responsible please, and as in all things, consume in moderation!

Ingredients

1 bag of Haribo gummy bears
Vodka

Method

Empty the bag of Haribo gummy bears into a small glass bowl. Add the vodka until it just covers all the gummy bears. Cover tightly with clingwrap and refrigerate. It’s ready when all the vodka has been absorbed, which takes around two days.
