Finished Candy Filled Ice Pop
The frozen treat of a candy filled popsicle is so awesome and yummy!
In fact, we thought the finished products were almost too gorgeous to eat! They look almost like frozen art.
But that didn’t actually slow the kids down. They said these candy popsicles were as yummy as they were beautiful!
Our Experience Making Candy Ice Pops
Recently a candy store moved into our neighborhood. Of course, our kids were elated! We wanted to limit the amount of sugar the kids were consuming, and still enjoy the magic, fun and “event” of the candy store.
Each of our kids (we have six kiddos) got to pick a child sized handful of candy.
After eating one piece of candy we put the rest of the treats into Popsicle molds. Then we filled the molds up with lemonade and froze them.

Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to start my own blog soon but
I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most
blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting
off-topic but I had to ask!
