Boozy Bears Part II

In case you were waiting with baited breath after reading Part I of this post, the results are in! No, it did not take a month for the bears to soak up the vodka. It just took me an absurdly long time to muster up the brain power to get a ruler from my room and measure a bear.

Time: 12-24 hours to let bears soak up vodka.

VERDICT: Easiest boozy treat ever. You basically get little bear shaped jello shots (they are rather potent). I recommend that you use separate containers to soak each gummy bear flavor because you are after all putting them in an  organic solvent. No one wants weird puce-colored, unspecified fruit-flavored bears.

After: 2.6 cm bear

Boozy Bears, Part I

No baking this last week I had a cold and the week was nuts. I've been on a bit of pantry cleaning kick lately and my latest experiment is boozy gummy bears.  I had a bunch of red gummy bears lying around and decided to get rid of them. Long story short, all red gummy bears taste like cough syrup to me...

Gummy Bears, Vodka, Done.

Vodka Gummy Bears

Shallow dish/tupperware

Vodka

Gummy bears

If this works, it will be the easiest boozy treat ever. I put the gummy bears in a single layer and poured enough vodka to just cover the bears; I wanted the vodka to diffuse into the bears and if memory of diffusion mechanics serves correctly, that means not having the bears swimming in vodka to begin with. *FINGERS CROSSED*

Yes, that is kale on my counter.  Sometimes, I'm healthy.

Before: 1.9 cm bear
