Helpful Tips!

1. If you do not have popsicle molds, you can use empty yogurt cups or small cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full. You can place foil on top of the cups and insert a popsicle stick to each cup.
2. To remove popsicles, squeeze the sides of the mold, twisting them slightly. If necessary, rinse the outside of the mold with hot water until the popsicle releases from the mold.
