    I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but have you tried Fox's Glacier fruits in vodka? I've made it with cranberry sweets and with mints, it's excellent. The sweets dissolve in about a day, all I do is take some vodka out to make room for about 25-30 sweets, then shake the bottle every couple of hours to help them dissolve. I'd reckon the Fox's Dark ones, aniseed/liquorice, would be first class.

    Best vodka I've found for this is Lidl's blue label Rachmaninov (sp?) which is good value and good quality.

    I'm very intrigued by the Toblerone version, methinks I'll have a go at that :D

    With the toblerone one do the little bits of nuts dissolve or do you have the little crumbs in the drink. I was thinking of a dime bar one but again worried about the little nuts.

    the bottle we've got has small bits of chocolate still in there.... it looks dreadful at first - like someone's thrown up or what's come out the other end :eek: but ... put it by the kettle. every time you make a cuppa or work in the kitchen, shake the bottle. it will help a LOT.. i've been doing that now for a week and there are tiny tiny bits of chocolate left, but i don't mind them, personally. If you do you could always filter it to clean those out.

    I have to try this. Going to make toffee vodka at the weekend. Maybe try saspiralla tablets as well.

    Has anybody tried licorice toffee ?

    On speaking to BIL he thinks his wife would like after eight vodka, just wondering any idea how much I would need for a 25cl bottle of vodka? I think I will need at least two boxes because I love them and not sure how many will make it into the bottle.
