WFMW Popsicle Tips and a Summer Giveaway #2

GIVEAWAY is now CLOSED and winner has been notified. THANKS FOR ENTERING!
It's HOT!

When it's hot outside my kids like to cool off with a popsicle.

Now is the perfect time to share some popsicle tips and recipes with everyone!

I love to make homemade popsicles. There are so many different popsicle molds to choose from now days. Here are two of our favorites :



If you don't have a popsicle mold then DON'T WORRY because all you need is some of those small paper cups and some sticks. Pour your mixture into the cups, freeze and then when it's time to eat just peel the cup away from the frozen treat!!

Now here is my favorite popsicle recipe to use :

12 ounce can of juice concentrate
4 cups water (2 cups plus 2 cups)
1 envelope unflavored gelatin (1/4-oz)
Molds, Sticks, Freezer
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in the microwave or in a sauce pan. Remove from the heat. Stir in the unflavored gelatin. Stir a lot, to dissolve it completely. Pour in the juice concentrate and the remaining 2 cups of water. Mix well. Pour into molds and freeze.

TIP:The Gelatin will prevent the popsicle from dripping.

Here is another great site for popsicle recipes.

And if you are going to be eating alot of popsicles then you will definately need to buy one of these...



The DripStik is AMAZING! I could spend an entire post raving about this product. When we recvd ours (GREEN AND PURPLE!) in the mail we had to try them out asap. I no longer have to worry about the kids getting their clothes messy nor do I have to constantly wipe fingers and chins (Popsicle drips). I LOVE DRIPSTIK and every mom that comes to my house is just amazed at the product as well. You can read more about DripStik products here.

Here is my little princess with one of our DripSticks.
