I did it years ago and it was a taste of summer in winter. Beware that the fruit absorbs the bitterness of the alchol, so they aren't good to eat.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367949314724875797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082600701720985027.post-71754341968848076252011-09-21T21:06:30.680+01:002011-09-21T21:06:30.680+01:00Peggy I cant take credit for the idea!

Ive seen it online 'somewhere', but cannot recall where lolol <br />They are hung currently off doorhandles...much to the delight of the cats as they wander past and bat them! <br />I reckon they could look great as wall art dont you?<br />Now the Werthers Vodka shows alot of promise. Its early days and Ive just put the 2nd pkt of toffees in,with a little brown sugar, but its coloured and clouded up beautifully and def does pleasantly taste of toffee.<br />I reckon you should give it a go! I would drink it with tonic myself, but then if its left long enough, it may thicken up more and be more liquerish. It is thickening already mind you.<br />The toffees need to be battered to fit thru the bottle neck, leave them in the wrappers and clatter them with a rolling pin.<br />(I took the first one or two out of the wrappers and had toffee segments flying round the kitchen!duhhhh)<br />The pieces settle and cling to the inside base of the bottle, so I use a metal skewer and waggle it about, to get the pieces back in the spirit. So when I upend the bottle the toffees are further dissolved.<br />How great you must be able to buy Werthers over there too? I wonder if it would work with the chocolatey ones.....which are soooooo tasty!liniecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643986273499722414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082600701720985027.post-64704041502645380892011-09-21T20:47:36.696+01:002011-09-21T20:47:36.696+01:00Lyn, your organizing project is smart AND beautifu...Lyn, your organizing project is smart AND beautiful, will you hang them on the wall now? The liquor brews are beautiful, so glad they taste good.
