Easy Homemade Popsicles

Is it really summer without popsicles? Since we’ve all got a bit more time around the house this summer, it’s the perfect opportunity to make a foray into popsicle making. Whether you’re making boozy popsicles for those 21+ or assisting little hands in making healthy juice pops, this is a fun, easy activity that yields a popsicle far superior to the supermarket.

  • 3 oz Dixie cups 
  • Popsicle sticks
  • Toothpicks and tape to hold stick upright (optional) 

Here’s a couple of our favorite summer popsicle recipes.
Each recipe makes 6-8 pops depending on your mold size.
