Popsicle Obsession

My children, like most children 'loooove' ice cream, freezies and popsicles and we, like many families, make our own ice cream and popsicles. With the hot weather upon us I doubled my usual batch of strawberry, banana and blueberry blend with the intent of making two batches of popsicles. 

PROBLEM: When I pulled out my second popsicle mold it was missing 3 sticks and 1 was broken. 

PROBLEM #2: I was completely out of popsicle sticks in the studio/craft room.

SOLUTION: What I did have on hand was about a million plastic spoons. So I used these plastic spoons instead and the kids thought it was the funniest and strangest thing to find a spoon in their popsicle. 

ENHANCEMENT: Get a spoonful of yogurt on each spoon and freeze them just until they are hard and then stick them in the filled popsicles molds and then freeze.

RESULT: Not only a spoon surprise but with the enhanced version you get a yogurt filled popsicle.

It was an on the fly fix to a problem that the kids loved.

BONUS: If the kids know that popsicles are for dessert, their dinner plates empty really quickly. Truly a win-win-solution!
