Two Pinterest posts in a week! You must be freaking out! This is another recipe I tried last weekend for the Super Bowl Party that I thought would be a fun, new, adult food that we could enjoy: Drunk Gummy Bears (Pinterest Link | Recipe Link) .
This was another experiment that I feel like the directions were lacking or I'm just that moronic. We bought the gummy bears and took the generic vodka we had in the house and poured it, covered it, and let it set for three days.
When I tried the first drunken gummy bear prior to the party my initial reaction was, "Oh, this is good!" and then I got to end of the gummy bear and that reaction turned into "Oh my gosh, spit it out!" So we thought we'd dry off the bears so that, perhaps, the alcohol on top (as it's a very sticky bear) would come off. It didn't help. We ended up throwing most of them away but keeping a few so that family at the Super Bowl party could at least try them. Turns out — everyone else LOVED them! Apparently D and I complete wusses.
Upon reading the actual recipe now I note that it does say for less strong bears use less vodka. Noted.
I also think if we do this again we will try a more pleasant tasting vodka — like Birthday Cake!:) D also had the idea of using cinnamon vodka so it would be like a cinnamon bear! I think that sounds like an awesome idea.
Final Verdict: I guess this is one of those times where you live and learn by trial and error. We'll probably try this idea again sometime. Hopefully we get it right.:)
