Vodka Gummy Bears

First of all, I know it's Thirsty Thursday and you are all excited, but what I'M excited about is that this is my 100th blog post!! That means 100 articles about 100 sweet temptations! It's a big milestone for me and I thank all of my fans for reading and molding The Sweetest Temptations into what it is today.

To celebrate this big milestone and Thirsty Thursday, we're making Drunken Gummy Bears! Forget about mixed drinks and buying all different chasers.  Our new motto this week is to Dunk and get Drunk!

Just follow these easy steps:

Pour a bag of gummy bears in a bowl that you can seal tight

Pour vodka into the bowl and cover

Soak for 3-5 days

After these gummy bears are dunked, eat and get drunk!

Within the 3-5 day time period, you'll see these gummy bears grow up from baby to age 21 in no time.  Join them to celebrate their ability to legally drink at their ripe, mature, and wholesome age of 21.

Any party that features drunken gummy bears automatically goes down in history as the best party ever! Now go and throw a party. A drunken gummy bear party!

Sprinkles High Heels

Got that perfect LBD but don't know what shoes to wear?  How about some Sprinkles high heels!? They are the perfect POP of rainbow that is bound to spice up any outfit!

I found these on Etsy and immediately fell in love.  The seller states that they are made out of 100% real candy but are 100% inedible.  Each piece is glued on and sealed so you will not be a bug magnet all night long.  

Such a unique idea that will get tons of compliments.  I'd love to own a pair of these and so should you!  Everything tastes better when it's candy, and everything looks better when it's candy. There's nothing wrong with wearing what you love!
