How To Make Homemade Popsicles With Your Kids
You aren’t going to believe how simple this is!
Pour gummy bears into each popsicle mold. Fill them about 1/4 way full.
Pour the Sprite over the gummy bears to fill the mold to the top.
Place the plastic sticks that came with the mold into the Sprite mixture. If you’re using wooden sticks wait about 30 minutes for the mixture to become slushy before placing the sticks in the molds.
Freeze the Sprite and gummy bear mix in the molds for at least 12 hours.
If your popsicles are stuck in the molds here’s a tip:
To remove the popsicles, set the mold into warm water for about 15 seconds. This melts the outside of the popsicles just a little to release them from the mold.
Enjoy your sweet summer homemade popsicles! Aren’t they such a great way to cool down on a hot summer day?
