Yummy Jello and Kool-aid popsicles



trying the popsicle - it's a hit!
Growing up my mom used to make us popsicles all the time.  She would make pudding pops, jello pops, juice pops - and probably other varieties.

I was reading my friend Sandy's blog the other day, and she had posted a recipe for home made popsicles that reminded me of when I was a kid.  I knew I had to make them for my own kids.

With the house in chaos today (the windows/doors are being replaced) I needed something to help entertain Mr. J - and I knew it was going to be quite warm, so it was a great day to break out the popsicle molds!

Do you like popsicles? What is your favorite flavour?

  2. Sounds like a great idea! I need some popsicle molds. I usually buy popsicles from the store, but it's so much more fun to make your own! My mom used to make them too. I loved them as a kid.

  5. Yay! So glad you tried these out, Ashley. Love the pictures...someone looks happy :) I've already made these a few times this year. My favourite flavour? I think it's a tie between strawberry and grape. Thanks for linking up!

    1. so so yummy! We made strawberry, although I think I would prefer grape or orange (I LOVE strawberries, not a fan of strawberry koolaid though)
