Pudding Pops-- Yum on the cheap.



The boys were starting to get picky about their snacks. They complained that they were sick of the regulars...animal crackers, carrot sticks, pretzels. Hum drum. Pretty horrible life, huh?

So I came up with pudding pops. I'm sure I'm not the first to think of them...but my kids and husband thought I was a genius. That's good enough for me.

We did the following combinations:
Chocolate pudding with crushed oreos
Vanilla pudding with chocolate chips (pictured above)
Banana pudding with butterscotch chips

I just mixed the instant pudding according to the directions, let it set up a little, added in the "extras", and then poured it into my .88 cent mold from Wal Mart, and popped them in the freezer. Yum!



Instant pudding at our local Wal Mart is about .89 cents per box and I already had the chocolate chips and all that in stock...so this was a super cheap way to jazz up plain ol' puddin'.


TIP: If you don't already have Popsicle molds, you can pour the mixture into a cleaned out single serving apple sauce cup and stick in a tongue depressor from the craft cabinet. We did this since our mold only has enough room for 4 popsicles and our pudding mixture made enough for more than 4!

  1. Thanks for the great idea. For some reason, my kids love anything frozen, on a stick or with Oreos
