Preparation Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients

• Gummy Bear candies, 2 lbs. (preferably multicolored)
• Vodka, 2 cups

Procedure

1. This recipe does not involve any cooking process. Although the preparation time is merely 2 minutes, these candies get ready for consumption only after 6 days. So, plan to prepare them in advance.
2. Start by putting all the gummy bears in a transparent jar. This jar must have a lid and should allow sufficient space for the candies to expand in size.
3. Pour vodka on the gummy bears. Ensure that the candies are completely soaked.
4. Cover the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator.
5. Leave the jar in the fridge for about a week. Stir the candies with a spoon at least once in a day to ensure that they get evenly soaked.
6. By the end of the week, your gummy bears will have soaked up all the vodka and expanded to almost double of their original size.
7. Let the jar remain in the fridge until the candies are served.
