We all miss the simpler times, when our biggest concern was who we were going to share our candy stash with and play with on the playground. As the end of the semester creeps closer, and graduation is looming over some why not throw it back to some of our favorite times. With these boozy alternatives to our favorite sweets why not try some of these candy-inspired cocktails, because what’s better than alcohol and acting childish.
