Drunken Gummies

I found a recipe on Pinterest (shocker, I know) for drunken gummi bears and decided to give it a try.  I bought some whipped cream vodka and 4 bags of gummi bears to try.
I read that you must do this in a glass bowl, because the plastic can erode with the alcohol, so I grabbed my handy pyrex bowl and dumped the gummis in.
Next, I poured the vodka over the gummis to where they were all covered with by about 1/4 an inch.
I kept them in the fridge, uncovered, for about 5 days, stirring daily.  By the end of the 5 days, the gummis had soaked up almost all of the alcohol and had almost doubled in size.  I used the gummi bears in the gold bag, and they weren't soggy or mushy by the end.  Also, they weren't horribly strong, so I think that the most vodka you put in the bowl, and the longer you let them soak, the more concentrated they will be.  Enjoy!!!
