Question

Can I just put them in a mason jar with lid instead of bowl and saran wrap?

Community Answer

Sure, but it's going to be somewhat hard to get them out of it. While you could strain them, you would probably end up with goo if you aren't really careful and chunks in your strainer, even if you are taking care.

Question

Can I put them in sandwich baggies and take them out on the lake or should I just leave them in a cooker?

Community Answer

Yes, you can put them in plastic sandwich bags once the vodka is soaked into the gummies. They may melt if they get hot, however.

Do I need to put it in the fridge or can I leave it out at room temperature?

You can leave it out, but the bears will be more squishy than if refrigerated.

Question

Can you use gin instead of vodka?

Community Answer

Yes, you can. Most spirit will work with this––just experiment with how much time to leave it soaking for.

Question

Can I put them in a plastic cup instead?

Community Answer

You can use plastic, but there is a chance that the taste will be a little altered. Glass doesn't have a taste to rub off, whereas plastic does.

Question

Could the bears be frozen after they absorb all the vodka and still be acceptable to consume?

Community Answer

The alcohol they have absorbed will make them impossible to freeze in a conventional freezer. However, sticking them in the freezer will not do any damage to your alcoholic bears.

Question

If I store it in the fridge, won't the gummy be hard?

Caeiia

Top Answerer

No, the vodka softens them and vodka doesn't easily freeze.

Question

How long do these bears last once they're finished?

Community Answer

Not long because people eat them. Seriously though, the alcohol evaporates very quickly, you will want to eat them within about a day of finishing their soak, and store them in a covered dish so you don't lose the alcohol or have the bears dissolve in the vodka entirely.

Question

Will putting them in a metal bowl affect taste?

Community Answer

Yes! I have been making these for years and the best way is to make them in a glass casserole pan. That way you can spread the bears out and they won't stick to each other.

Question

What if I just put the gummy bears in the bottle and put the cap back on and put it in the fridge?

Caeiia

Top Answerer

Make sure you get the gummy bear to vodka ratio right, otherwise you will waste a significant portion of the vodka. It might be hard to get it out of the bottle, but just be careful.

Question

Can I move these to a container to transport them?

Community Answer

Sure, they aren't that fragile. Just put them into whatever container you want, but avoid leaving them in the open for hours on end or they'll dry out/get stale.

Question

Can I drop the soaked gummy bears in Jell-O shots before I refrigerate them? Will the Jell-O shots still solidify?

Community Answer

Just fro, experience with jello and gummies without alcohol, this is not a great idea. The liquid from the jello softened the gummies and changed the texture to mush.

Can I use a glass cup? Or it has to be a bowl?

Community Answer

it has to be a bowl. A cup will definitely not work, as the instructions clearly state that a bowl must be used.

Question

Can you use foil instead of plastic wrap?

No, because foil doesn’t provide an airtight seal and the alcohol will evaporate.

Question

Can I use 7 up with my vodka to make it not as strong?
