This might be a daft question but for the flavoured vodka is it just a case of open bottle of vodka, chuck stuff in, close bottle of vodka?

Hope that helps a little.Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...0 -
I literally open it up, have a gllas first
then pop the bits in and leave it to dissolve.
Which reminds me, I really myst replace that bottle of cherry drop vodka.
Obviously had to be tested thoroughlyWealth is not measured by currency0 -

I had this posted on another thread so for sheer laziness here are 2 of my hamper recipes, hope you like them!
I've got an easier fudge recipe if you like:
1 full bag sugar
1 tin evaporated milk
about 50g butter
vanilla if you like
put it all in a big pan and stir, with this depending onthe length of time cooked and stirred it can be made into either toffee, fudge or tablet.
and as for truffles these ones last forever because there's nothing too perishable in them.
(use own brand bicccies)
1 pack custard creams
1 pack bourbons
1 pack digestives
butter
chocolate
icing suger,cocoa or coconut for dusting (you can just dip in choc if you want)
blitz the biscuits, melt butter and chocolate together add to crumbs, with shape into balls and coat with disting of your choice
Hope these help.
