When I think of summer, I think of pool parties, backyard barbeques and sleepovers with all my best friends. With all of these fun activities comes delicious treats that anyone can enjoy. Here are some of my favorites:
1. Ice Pops that come in packs of 60.
My favorite is dark yellow, my mom's is green, and my sister's is red. These ice pops can be eaten all day and there is no shame because its only flavored water! It has become a way of bonding in my home to race for the best flavors and when we run out, another sixty are only a dollar or two away. As hot as it gets, cold treats are a must have and there are a couple I love more than others. These are simple, cheap, allergy friendly, child-friendly, and just what you'll need to beat the heat this summer.
2. Watermelon Popsicles.
My absolute favorite summer treat would have to be watermelon popsicles. You will need a popsicle mold, some watermelon and lime Kool-aid, and mini semi sweet chocolate chips. First, mix the Kool-aids. Keep in mind, you'll need more watermelon than lime. Pour the watermelon Kool-aid into the mold, leaving about an inch between the drink and the rim, then add about seven chocolate chips. Do this for all of the molds, then put it in the freezer for about an hour. Then, pull it out and add the lime Kool-aid up to the rim. Freeze for another forty five minutes and serve!
3. Fudge Popsicles.
A more simple recipe to cool the kiddos off is my little sister's favorite. Fudge popsicles! All you have to do is use a popsicle mold, make chocolate pudding, and pour the pudding into the mold before cooled. Put it in the freezer for an hour and a half and serve!
A helpful tip to get the popsicles to come out a little easier is to run the mold under room temperature water for a couple of minutes. The popsicles will pop right out! I hope you and your family enjoy these recipes!
