Preferably an old spinach bag…..

I do this with my wife. Frozen Broccoli, two things she hates.

It works. Put the chore list in the Pop-tarts box.

Mom always hid the Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies in the freezer behind the trout frozen in blocks of ice. The cookies were easy to find, though. There was not much else in the freezer and the cookies didn’t have didn’t have little tails sticking out of their boxes.

Or…Lima Beans!

My mum should have known of this! The chocolates were too easy to find.

One of the better household tips I’ve heard.

Wait. That is brilliant!

Jean Smart’s character in “Mare of Easttown” did this, but with ice cream. She moved a giant bag of tater tots and pilled out a bag of mixed veggies. Inside the bag was a pint of ice cream. Many interruptions meant she never did get to eat it.

Don’t laugh, it works, mine is in a bag of bitter melon.

They’ll never think to look there.

But how do you get them to eat the vegetables so you have an empty bag?

The only person I need to hide my candy from is myself!

Good call, Cosmo!
