they scream summer

Wednesday, June 29, 2016

I returned last night from taking Andrew to a golf tournament in Hershey, Pa. You know, home of Milton S. Hershey. That incredible founder of the one and only Hershey Chocolate. And, I don't care what Andrew says, the chocolate is most definitely fresher than that of which you buy in the store. And we proved it by eating 2 bags of Hershey kisses in two days. I kid you not.

So, last night when I returned, I had a need to make something light and refreshing. So, I pureed the strawberries that were in the refrigerator, added about a tablespoon of honey and poured it into half of the mold. Then popped the mold into the freezer.

{THESE MAKE THE BEST FREEZER POP WRAPPERS!!!}

After about an hour, I took a can of coconut milk, added another tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of vanilla. And poured that into the mold.

Absolutely the best. And definitely feels so good in a chocolate laden stomach.
Popsicle recipes are popping up all over the internet. I can't wait to try something a little more creative.

The portion bags really make the BEST wrappers for your popsicles. And, can be reused over and over. Just wash and dry. Bonus. Make sure you push your sticks down far enough into the mold so that you can zip the bags closed for longer storage.

I wish I'd known you'd be in the area. I live about an hour away.

These look very good. I need to get a Popsicle mold. We always have frozen fruit lying around. I've never seen those portion control bags before; well, I'm not usually in that aisle at Target. I was thinking they'd be good for the husband and snacks to bring at work. I really want to get him to eat better as he's always starving when he comes home.

You clever girl! These look so inviting! And, two bags of Hershey kisses in two days? Ha! I can see doing the very same thing. You can't eat just one that's for sure! Thanks for the yummy popsicle idea. :)
