Every parent knows you can never enjoy a chocolate bar in peace, as your kids will always demand some of your food if they catch you eating anything nice.

One mum was sick of having to share treats with her kids, so she came up with a cunning plan to stash them where they’d never think to look.

The crafty mum cleverly disguised three tubs of ice-cream – inside bags of frozen vegetables inside the freezer.

She revealed the ice-cream had been hidden for a month, and her kids were none the wiser of her hiding place.

The mum shared her sneaky idea to Facebook group Aldi Mums, saying: “Kids are in bed, ice cream time, who else has a secret hiding spot?

“These only usually last a week, I’ve had these for 4 weeks now, kids still haven’t found them.”

Her post racked up thousands of likes from fellow mums, as she was branded a “genius”.

One parent said: “Very sneaky! Love it!”

Another wrote: “Freaking genius!”

A third commented: “Sneaky … well done and congrats for getting away with it for so long.”

Her post racked up thousands of likes as mums claimed they were copying her idea.

Someone else added: “This is GOLD.”

Another posted: “Why have I never ever thought of this!”

While this mum added: “I use an empty laundry powder box.”
