STEP 1: Acquire Non-Toxic Popsicle Molds
I've tried a bunch of DIY popsicle molds and eventually popsicle mold sets. Hands-down the best brand is Tovolo. Before discovering Tovolo popsicle molds I used to try to make popsicles using ice-cube trays and bags of popsicle sticks. Believe me, it is not worth the effort and mess! You will never eat your tiny ice cube popsicles if you can't pry them out of the icecube tray, and then you will give up and throw the whole mess in the sink. Don't waste your time with such shenanigans as I did. Also, do not waste your time buying sticks that run out because then you have to get refills constantly. Real popsicle molds that come with their own sticks and stands (ahem, Tovolo) are infinitely reusable and a million times easier to work with. They also come in all sorts of silly colors and shapes that your kids will probably like. Personally, I'm waiting for a more sleek and modern looking popsicle mold but no luck yet - Tovolo, hit me up when you make one that isn't fluorescent green "rocket shaped" or hot pink "heart shaped." How about "cylinder shaped" with a white stick? Seriously though, Tovolo molds can't be beat. You can find them all over Amazon.

Enticing article, Jill! I just ordered the ice cream pop molds- my daughter LOVES ice cream, so this way she can have what looks like an ice cream cone, but with healthier fruit and veggie based ingredients!
