Have I got a sweet treat for you today…..yes indeed I have it’s a Sweet dispenser (or Candy Dispenser for my overseas friends) and there is a video too.
The lid is removable so you can fill it full of your favourite sweets, in my case it was Jelly Tots. In fact this was video 2, because in the first one I ate a few Jelly Tots and they stuck my teeth together so I couldn’t get my words out, it was funny, but not a good clear video that you could understand !
So I started again and resisted the Jelly Tots until I had finished filming, in case you are wondering, yes I did eat them all ! Oops!
So here is the video, it’s really straight forward and all the measurements for the Sweet Dispenser are below.

So I would love to know what sweets you will be putting into your Sweet Dispenser when you have made one?
Hello! First let me say thank you for sharing this tutorial!!!! But my question is, why is there 2 cut outs on the body of the dispenser? I realize one for the candy to dispense , but why the other cut out? I’m sure I’ve overlooked something…please clarify for me. Thank you so much!
Hi Lisa, its just so it can fold properly.
