If you find yourself with an excess of candy and don’t want the children to have too much, there’s a creative solution to repurpose the candy into something unique and practical. Rather than throwing it away, why not transform it into a fun and colorful object? This DIY project is simple enough for children to join in and makes for a quirky gift or a vibrant addition to your home decor.
A girl recently shared her experience online. After a festival, her home was filled with an abundance of candy. Growing tired of simply eating it, she decided to put her creativity to good use and turned the candy into beautiful and colorful objects for her family. Initially, her family didn’t understand what she was doing as she arranged the candies, but within just 10 minutes, they were all praising her ingenuity.
Her ingenious idea was to use the candy to create an ice cream bowl. Curious how it’s done? Please follow the instructions below:
Start by preheating the oven to 300 degrees C. While it heats up, line a baking sheet with wax paper and arrange the candy in a hexagonal shape on the sheet. Once the oven is hot, place the candy tray into the oven to bake. The candies should become shiny and slightly melted, sticking together. The total baking time should be approximately 7 minutes.

Once baked, carefully remove the candy from the baking sheet and flip it onto a dish. Let it sit for approximately 3 minutes before removing it from the dish. Now, you have a colorful dish that can be used to hold ice cream or candy.

Note that the size of the dish should be estimated beforehand to ensure the candy fits accordingly. A larger dish will require more candy, while a smaller one will need less.
