Sip your candy bar, drink your dessert: Phillips Distilling Company has launched UV Candy Bar, a chocolate- and caramel-flavored vodka. It’s 17th vodka flavor in the UV Vodka line, that also includes UV Cake, UV Chocolate Cake and UV Whipped.

And the bottles are flying off the shelf: Sales increased 81% last year. At a suggested retail price of $12.99 for a 750mL bottle, it’s an affordable treat.

Bold, unique and sweet, dessert-flavored vodkas can indeed substitute for dessert. Just a shot can be a sweet conclusion to dinner: No high-calorie dessert necessary.

While we enjoyed drinking shots, the vodka can be mixed into many cocktails, including a riff on the famous White Russian. Here are two recipes to start you off.
