If you’ve ever wished your favorite candies had a little more kick, this collection is for you.

These Moonshine Candies take classic sweets — gummy bears, jelly beans, and fruit chews — and infuse them with high-proof moonshine for a fun, adults-only treat.

Perfect for parties, edible gifts, or sneaky weekend snacking.

Moonshine Gummy Bears

Soft, sweet, and soaked with shine.

Ingredients

• 2 cups gummy bears (regular or sour)
• 1 cup Everclear (or high-proof vodka)
• Optional: flavored moonshine (e.g., peach or watermelon)

Instructions

1. Place gummy bears in a shallow dish or jar in a single layer.
2. Pour moonshine over them — just enough to cover.
3. Seal or cover and refrigerate for 24–72 hours, gently stirring once or twice.
4. Drain and serve!

Tip: Longer soak = stronger and softer bears. For firmer results, soak just 24 hours.

Moonshine Jelly Beans

Bright, boozy, and colorful.

Ingredients

• 2 cups jelly beans
• 1 cup flavored moonshine or vodka
• Optional: fruit liqueurs for flavor layering

Instructions

1. Add jelly beans to a sealable jar.
2. Pour in alcohol until beans are just covered.
3. Seal and refrigerate for 1–2 days, stirring gently every 12 hours.
4. Drain and spread on parchment to dry slightly before serving.

Serving idea: Pack into mini jars for a fun party favor.

Moonshine Fruit Chews

Sticky, soft, and loaded with flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 cups chewy fruit candy (like Starburst or Hi-Chew)
• 1 cup fruit-flavored moonshine (strawberry, mango, etc.)

Instructions

1. Unwrap candies and place them in a single layer in a jar or shallow dish.
2. Pour moonshine over just until barely covered.
3. Let soak 12–24 hours, flipping halfway through.
4. Drain and dry on wax paper for a few hours before serving.

Warning: These get sticky! Store in a cool place, or chill before serving.
