I have several hiding places (that my kids do not know about) where I keep sweet goodies... One of them being under the sales' flyers in the cabinet until my son opened the cabinet one day and the fliers fell on him and he discovered the cookies. Sigh. He discovered the behind the microwave hiding spot too... He's just too good when he needs a sweet fix.

Tell me so I'll know where to look when I come to your house. Actually, I need some good NEW hiding places. Ideas please???




Flyer/Flier... not sure of the correct spelling, uh oh. LOL.

In my closet with the midget porn.

Back when I had a stash, I kept it in the filing cabinet in my "office". No one ever wants to come in here because I usually put them to work

Put with the pot where it belongs.

No matter where I hide it, it is not safe. My daughter either finds it, or I forget where I hid it.

I even hid a bag of wrapped candy in the clothes hamper once, and she found it! Now I just keep the stuff in my classroom at school and eat it there.

I just lock my stash up. I have a cabinet where we lock up the liquor, so I just throw in the extra sweets too

A lock is what my son suggests too. I might have to put it in the fireproof safe.

I put it in a locked cabinet. That is only because my kids have food allergies, if it's locked up then they know they can't eat it.

No stash here. DH is the only one with a sweet tooth (thank goodness!). We STILL have Halloween candy we are getting ready to trash. I have TONS of candy in my office ( I sell Ghirardelli chocolate) so anytime I need a fix it's nearby and the kids know not to touch it. If my mom makes homemade cinnamon rolls (with pie crust dough), I put mine in the microwave and tell DH not to touch it. My kids can't reach the microwave...yet

You sell Ghiradelli Chocolate?! This is the *only* chocolate I will bake with. I've tried cheaper and more expensive chocolate for baking, but Ghiradelli has always won, hands down.I am soooo jealous.
Tonight dh and I went to Tar-zhay to see if there were any good V-day chokkies left and scored several bags of G. choc chips ( the absolute best I've found for different brownie recipes). It was like Christmas for us ;-)

ETA: my kids know not to touch any chokkies they may find w/out permission, so I don't need to hide my stash.

If it's chocolate, no need to hide it. DH is allergic to it, so any I bring home is ALL MINE. LOL

Come on over My kids are TOTALLY snobby about chocolate. It's their fave: "oh, it's Dove...nah, I'll wait until I get home" LOL. I swear it wasn't intentional! Between the smoothies, italian sodas and chocolate, can you tell the neighborhood kids love me LOL Where was the mom like me when *I* was growing up! Best I got was my friends mom served Kool-Aid (which my mom never served and I've followed in her footsteps...don't think my kids have ever had it (they are 7 & 9)

I LOVE Lindt chocolate and See's and Euphoria. You can trust me with your money, your husband, your children and I will not take anything of value or sentiment or anything else from your home but leave me alone with your chocolate.....you'll think I'm on crack all right!

I don't hide my chocolate. :shock:

We have a drawer right in the kitchen, where we put our candy and chocolate.

Right now it has licorice, mocha M&M's, dark chocolate (2 types), and a small amount of sour skittles.

When I was a kid, junk food was limited. If we ever had money, we would buy tons of it!!

We have always had a "candy drawer" in our household, and our son has grown up knowing that if he needs a candy fix, it is right there. Thus, he does not indulge in candy too often. Normally it is a single dove chocolate, or a small handfull of skittles.

When my younger brothers come over, the first area they hit in the house is my candy drawer (they know that everything in my house is free game to munch on). I have occasionally had to restock my candy when my youngest brother has been over.

1boymom, sounds like us but instead of a drawer I have the candy in a reusable grocery sack. It was full after Halloween and now it's half full. 3.5 months and only half of it is gone and most of that is DH. It's out in the open and my brother will dip in when he's here as well as the neighborhood kids. My kids don't bother usually

Inside the crockpot and/or the deep fryer.....I'm the only one who uses them, and the kids don't ever look in them.

I bet if you used an empty "Kotex" box to stash them in they'd stay a mile away! HAHA!

I don't hide a "stash" anywhere. For some reason that just doesn't seem right. I'm the Mom, it's instilled in me to share with my children. I'm not bashing anyone, I just don't see the point of hiding food from my children. I don't need to hide it from DH either. He is way too generous, and would give up his last meal to me or the kids, even if it was his favorite chocolate.

Don't get me wrong, everyone knows that just because we have something "good" in the pantry, doesn't mean you have to hork it all down yourself.

Right now, my DH has a bag of dark chocolate kisses hidden from me.
When the chocolate chips are gone, he will start giving me one a night.
Somehow I am doing well by limiting myself to a small handfull of chips a day.
I have to cut out sweets but since they say dark chocolate is good for you, I feel I should have a little bit each day for health reasons!!!!!

My son (age 14) has been known to eat the entire box of 12 ice cream sandwiches. My other son (age 11) could care less about sweets.

Diabetes runs in my side of the family.

I sometimes hide things in the bread machine pan.

I just have to wrap it up in tin foil. My kids and sweet hubby operate under out of sight, out of mind. Then they are always surprised when I pull whatever it is. They say things like, "Where was that? I thought we were out! Sweet! Thanks!" Makes me feel like a super hero. They will never take the time to open something wrapped in foil. Plastic wrap - yes, ziplocs- yes, tupperware - yes, foil - no. I don't get it. Too much effort to unwrap and rewrap if it's not what they're looking for?

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

I have 2 sons who would gorge themselves on sweets, especially chokkies. They know where the chokkies are, I have 2 candy jars out in the open for sharing, baking chokkies are in a pantry, and they all know that I have chokkies in my bdr. They also know not to take *any* sweets w/out asking (It only took once for each of the sweets monsters to gorge on chokkies and get sick to learn their lesson, for the most part ;-).
I've let them know that baking chokkies don't necessarily taste good enough to eat after I let them taste several kinds of baking chokkies ;-)

When my kids were little they wouldn't eat anything without asking but now that they are 12 and almost 11, they just eat whatever they can find. My kids don't over do it but I like to monitor how much junk food they're eating.
I don't hide all our junk food, I keep small amount out and most is locked up and I will pull out more when needed.
The kids know where the stash is and know what is in there.

I have a sage green, metal box with the words "laundry" on its side. Natch in my laundry room. I keep a lot of stuff hidden there. No one cares to look in a laundry box
