Homemade vs Store Bought Popsicles

How many of you enjoy eating popsicles? My family loves them! I try to keep popsicles on hand year round for everyone to enjoy. I would rather my kids grab a popsicle from the freezer than a bag of potato chips from the pantry when they need a snack.

When it comes to these icy-cold treats do you prefer homemade or store bought? Have you ever made your own ice pops and if so, what is your favorite flavor to make? When it comes to store bought which flavor is your favorite to buy?

Some of my personal favorites include: Strawberry Eclairs, Root Beer Ice Pops, Fudgesicles, and Orange Creamsicles. My children enjoy Rocket Pops, Freeze Pops, Chocolate Eclairs, Chocolate Covered Banana Pops, etc. My husband will eat a popsicle from time to time, but he’s much more an ice cream man.

I really enjoy making homemade popsicles and love getting creative with the ingredients that I use. I will often toss some fruits, yogurt and/or ice cream into my blender to make a smoothie. I then will spoon it into our popsicle molds and freeze. Oh my, so good! I will purchase generic brand root beer soda and will make our own root beer flavored ice pops with that. It’s a lot cheaper to make them at home than buy them at the store.
