Make Your Own Chocolate Vodka

Did you know you can make your own chocolate vodka? It's really simple to do, and the finished product makes a killer chocolate martini (my new dessert of choice).

== Ingredients ==
5 or 6 Milky Way bars or other chocolate bars, approximately standard size
Bottle of vodka (cheap is fine as the chocolate makes up for it)

== Method ==
Pour out about 20 percent of the vodka from the vodka bottle. Pour this amount into another bottle for storage and future use.  Finely chop the chocolate bars and push the pieces 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 chocolate bars have dissolved throughout the vodka. Keep in the freezer in between use.

== Tips ==
Avoid chocolate bars that contain cookies, 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.

Just because this tastes like candy, don't forget it's still mostly vodka.  Don't over-amp.
