Did you know that you can dissolve melted
chocolate into vodka? It's really simple to do
and makes an amazing drink for those who love the
delight of chocolate! The type of chocolate used
is up to you, although the method outlined in
this article uses Mars bars.
!! Ingredients !!
* 5 or 6 Mars bars or other chocolate bars,
approximately standard size - a packet is the easiest way to
purchase them
* 70cl bottle of vodka, cheap is fine as the
chocolate makes up for it
!! Steps !!
!! Water Dish Method !!
* Set out the pan and a Pyrex™ bowl. The bowl should fit
completely inside the pan. If you have a double boiler, you can
use this instead.
* Half fill the pan with water. Rest the bowl in it so that it
floats on the water and the pan does not overflow. The water
should surround most of the bowl.
* Roughly chop the Mars bars. Place the chopped pieces in the bowl.
Bring the water up to a very gentle simmer so that it melts the Mars
bars. As they are melting, introduce the vodka bit by bit.
* Keep stirring the mixture, and adding the vodka, until all of it
has been added. Do not let the vodka mix boil, or the alcohol will
evaporate.
* Once all of the vodka has been poured in, keep mixing until
everything forms a smooth blend. The caramel will be the last part
to melt in, but be patient and it'll go eventually.
* Take the bowl out of the pan carefully. Set aside to allow it to
cool.
Bottle the vodka using a funnel. Once the
mixture is down to room temperature, place it
in the freezer for at least 24 hours The
chocolate vodka will not freeze and will form a
nice thick and cold texture.
* Keep stored in the freezer until needed and in between use.
!! Dishwasher Method !!
Prepare the vodka and the Mars bars.
* Remove a quarter of the liquid from a litre bottle of vodka. Pour
it into another bottle for storage and future use.
* Chop up the Mars bars so to a consistency that allows them to fit
through the neck of the vodka bottle.
* Push the chopped up Mars bars through the neck of the bottle and
into the vodka. Don't worry about how it looks - not so appealing
at this point!
* Put the lid back on the vodka bottle. Make sure it's tight and
secure.
* Place the vodka bottle into a dishwasher and run a cycle. The heat
of the water will melt the mars bars and dissolve the chocolate
into the vodka.
* Give the bottle a good shake. If the mars bars are not all
completely dissolved put it back in the dishwasher for another
cycle.
* Remove from the dishwasher. Place it in the freezer to cool it
down. Once frozen, it's ready to drink!
!! Freezer Method !!
With this method, you'll need a little patience as the bottle needs to
sit in the freezer for two weeks. The upside is that there is less
work involved than the first method suggested above.
Prepare the vodka and the Mars bars.
* Pour out about 20 percent of the vodka from the vodka bottle. Pour
this amount into another bottle for storage and future use.
* Chop up the Mars Bars.
* Push the chopped up Mars bars through the neck of the bottle and
into the vodka.
* Put the lid back on the bottle. Make sure it's tight and secure.
* Place the bottle into the freezer. Leave the bottle in the freezer
for two weeks. Every couple of days, turn the bottle and shake if
needed.
* Remove and serve when the Mars bars have
dissolved throughout the vodka. Keep in the freezer in between
use.

!! Tips !!
* Other chocolate bars can be used, but avoid ones that contain
biscuit, fruit or nuts, as these will not dissolve and they're
hard to remove once melted in.
* Use the cheapest vodka you can find. The quality of the vodka
hardly makes any difference to the final result.
!! Warnings !!
* Do not allow the vodka to boil in the first method or the alcohol
will evaporate.
* Take care with the alcohol, especially if using a gas stove or
other open flame. It's flammable!
* Drink responsibly.
