Homemade Fudgesicles

:: Homemade Fudgesicles ::

Homemade Fudgesicles are the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.  They are a simple and refreshing dessert that can be created with your kids.  Ice pops in general, feature a few quality ingredients that allow for a healthier dessert.  I don’t know about you, but in our house… dessert is a must! With my sweet tooth, and the kids following not far behind, homemade pops are easy to control the sugary sweetness. Not-to-mention, they only require a few simple tools to create. I like to use Tovolo Pop Molds.  This recipe can also be used with Zoku Quick Ice Pop Makers, or even using a small disposable water cup with old-fashioned wooden sticks.  My kids enjoyed helping and testing the chocolate mixture, as well as, having a taste or two of the chopped chocolate.  Home economics at it’s finest, allows for a teachable yet fun moment with family!  This classic recipe makes you remember why you loved getting one of these from the ice cream truck as a kid!
