Popped to the shop in my lunch hour today. Got soaked through , but I have Vodka and skittles.

Will make it tonight when I get home, and keep you posted .

Excellent - let us see the finished products. If I can work out how to post pictures on here I'll post a pic of the one I have. Remember to do separte bottles for each flavour - one green, one orange etc. xx

Just read more of the posts so see its going well xx

2 weeks should be fine.

Does anyone know if Hotel Chocolat have any offers on or whether Quidco etc have any one?

Hi all,
today I finished the snowman pinata. This one is not as good to me, the nose has gone quite wrong but I'm sure they will love it.

Loving it :snow_laug:snow_laug:snow_laug:snow_laug

My Dad bought one back from work one Christmas in the Seventies. (He worked abroad).
My little sister was so horrified when he said what we had to do to it, she cried. Dad had to adapt it, so we could get the sweets out , without hurting it .:snow_laug:snow_laug

Skittle Vodka going well.
They changed colour almost immediately. I used , green, purple, orange and yellow. (I don't like things that taste of strawberries, so red was out).
Lets just hope they taste OK. Not sure how long I have to leave them in the vodka. I was thinking 2 weeks ?



.

Green skittles makes the vodka go brown... just warning you! i mean.. i heard its a rummour not that I have ever made it... hence most receipes say leave the green out.

On my own- haha yeah I don't like to see them get bashed up once I have spent so much time on them.
