I feel really comfortable blaming this whole post on Dorothy. I mean, it was her who first convinced me that I needed these. (Actually, she can take credit for the name too!)
And naturally, when I find a good candy . . . I must turn it into vodka. Must.
A week later, I had a delicious Candy Corn M&M infused vodka. The M&M's did not all dissolve completely, but enough to make the vodka so delicious that I did not pass go, I did not collect $200, I did not take a picture of the finished product, I Just. Made. This.
So good. Candy Corn Creamy Vodka, Pumpkin Ice Cream, and Fat Free Creamer (because, you know . . . I'm trying to watch my girlish figure). Top it with a little whip cream and sprinkles, and you have what is essentially the milkshake version of a pumpkin latte. With booze.
Ummmm, yeah . . . . I'm going to need to make some more of that vodka.
Like now.
Not a big drinker? Pregnant? On serious pain killers after a root canal (sorry Nathan . . . . )? Well, how about a Kiddie Pumpkin Candy Shake? Just add a little more ice cream and a handful of M&Ms and blend it up blizzard style!

- 1/4 cup fat free half and half
- a decent handful of Candy Corn M&Ms

Candy Corn M&M Infused Vodka
- 8 oz vodka,
- about 20 Candy Corn M&Ms
- Pour the vodka over the M&Ms and shake.
- Shake several times a day for a week.
- Put a coffee filter in a strainer and put the strainer in a large 4 cup measuring cup. Pour in the vodka to let it strain.
- Eat the left over candy at your own risk . . . only about half of mine dissolved, but I got to impatient to wait anymore, and the vodka was still super delicious.
This looks really good! I am envious that you have found pumpkin ice cream. I have not found any yet and am thinking I must make my own! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks WONDERFUL, and sounds super-DELICIOUS
ReplyDeleteNot your ordinary shake :)
This is such a creative drink... seriously how did you come up with this? Thanks for sharing it on foodie friday.
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing with this. That vodka...I NEED more of these M&Ms RIGHT NOW. Thank goodness I'm going to Walmart soon. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you think this would work with regular candy corn?? I've eaten so much in the last 2 weeks...it's a hazard of the fall season.
ReplyDeleteMilkshakes of any kind are a winner in my book!

It would totally work with regular Candy Corn. If it's candy, then I say dissolve it in vodka and mix it with ice cream!! : ) Just make sure to strain it first. It will help get rid of some of the waxy residue. The thing I do like about the M&Ms is that it adds a white chocolate layer that is missing from traditional, though delicious, Candy Corn.
DeleteOh man, I feel you on turning delicious candy into vodka! I made five tiny bottles of Jolly Rancher vodkas and they were delicious! And that shake looks great, thanks for sharing it at The Fun In Functional!
ReplyDeleteLove. I completely love your blog description. Especially the part about wine.....
ReplyDeleteyour newest follower :)
Glad to have you!!
DeleteWow, looks wonderful. I am definitley going to have to make the M&M infused vodka. The Skittles and Jolly Rancher infused vodka was awsome. I will have to see if there is any left for the milk shake. And don't worry, I blame all my sugar issues on Dorothy.
