Ice Tup Tuesday! Toffee Fudgecicles

Everyone loves fudgecicles! This is a total childhood favorite for me. I still can't find the brand that my grandma used to buy, they were so creamy and chocolatey! I put a little twist in mine! I love toffee!

This happy treat is very simple to make!
1 large box instant chocolate pudding.
2 cups whole milk (I know, I know, the calories! But when cooking it is best to use the full fat versions of dairy products) You can use skim or 2% but it's not as creamy.
~1/2 cup of Heath bits

Make the pudding according to the directions on the box. And gently fold in the bits. Pour evenly in the molds, seal and freeze!

From: Poff's Kitchen
Makes: 6 ice tups plus a good sized cup to snack on!

And now for some adorable pictures of my babies enjoying them!

IceTup Tuesday! Rainbow Popsicles

These are a childhood memory...I remember mom making all kinds of popsicles for us with these magical things! And of course chewing on the ends...when we were done...much like my children have! I remember getting to help make them and enjoying them all summer long. When Philip was a baby I bought mine off of eBay because Tupperware had discontinued them. They bring them back every now and then, last time they were Mickey Mouse ones. I'm getting 2 more sets soon so we can share with friends or make different ones at a time. Thru the summer on Tuesdays I hope to give you a new fun idea to make homemade popsicles for your little ones or just a treat for you & friends! Enjoy!

2 small bananas
8-10 ripe strawberries
2 kiwi
1 handful of blueberries

In individual bowls..mash each fruit well with a fork that's it! Children can help with this...it's fun and everyone likes making a mess!
Once mashed, take the one with the least and put in the bottom, ours was banana, then blueberries, kiwi and strawberries. Tap lightly to settle, add a little more if needed. Just make sure you can still seal them up.
Seal, and freeze! You can do this with little dixie cups and popsicles sticks if you don't have molds. Just carefully add each fruit to get a good band of color.

And now, because my kids are so cute...here they are enjoying them!!
