Sweets-Dispensing Hacks

This Redditor Shows How to Use Your Fridge as a Frozen Candy Dispenser

— October 23, 2014 — Lifestyle
Redditor Deric Peace figured out how to use the ice bin in your fridge as a frozen candy dispenser. Perfect for the Halloween treats you collect, this kitchen hack and stroke of sheer brilliance lets you enjoy ice cold sweets deposited right into a cup or other container.

To use your refrigerator's ice machine as a frozen candy dispenser, simply replace water for candies when filling it up. A short video made by Deric Peace shows how easily the treats are dispensed. However, there is a chance if you have a different model of fridge there could be more difficulty.

In the video you see a combination of wrapped and unwrapped candy mixed together. This would work well with skittles, chocolates and other small sized sweets.
