Even though summer is winding down, frozen Popsicles are always popular with kids. I get weekly recipes sent to me from Cooking Light — and thought these Chocolate Pudding Pops would be a nice change from tradition Popsicles. They were easy to make and the kids (and I) loved it!
I used the smaller ring pops because that’s what Big A wanted. I ended up halving the recipe. Just a reminder that this is a treat food as it contains added sugar.

Happy end of summer to you all!
