Drunken Bears - Of the Gummy Variety.

My partner in crime and I usually meet up once a week for drinking, gossip, and food (the good life, in other words).

Imagine my supreme delight when she showed up last week with engorged gummy bears swimming in a lake of vodka. Joy!

The recipe is fairly simple:

1. Put gummy bears in a container.
2. Pour vodka (we thought that Smirnoff's Fluffed Marshmallow Vodka tasted the best) all over the bears.
3. Let sit 24 hours.
4. Eat.

The texture is a bit shocking - slimy on the outside, still kind of gummy-bear-like on the inside. BUT, they are so tasty and 2 of them seem to be the equivalent of a shot. For the full effect, we have captured my reaction to eating vodka bears for the first time:

DRUNKEN GUMMY BEARS WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART.
