Thanks for the recipe.
I very rarely buy popsicles.
We make them either from jello or Kool aid.
I make the koolaid, for drinking or freezing with 2 pkts of koolaid, to the water as directed for 1 pkg, and about 3/4 the sugar directed for 1 pkg. We like ours strong, and less -sweet.
With all the sales you can find in the summer on koolaid you can make popsicles for pennies.

Great recipes, OP-- thanks!

Just wondering: do the Yogurt Pops taste like the orange and vanilla Dreamsicles? My mom loooves those (okay, I like them too! lol) and I'm always finding deals on soon-expiring yogurt... TIA!!

My DH loves Dreamsicles, he says these taste like them. IMO, they are not quite as sweet, so I like these even better. I suppose you could add a little natural vanilla flavoring and they would taste even more like the Dreamsicles. :)

Yummy-- I know what I'll be doing with the next reduced price vanilla yogurts I get!

Oops, just realized-- one more question: in the Yogurt Pops recipe, can you tell me how much "2 parts water" is? Is it 2 cups?? :shrug7:

Thanks again!!

What to do w/ all the Kool-Aid from the free wyb 3 Kraft/Nabisco coupons? Does anyone have any good ideas/recipies? We've been using them to make popsicles and sno-cone syrup. Here's the "recipies".

Popsicles - Use 1 cup sugar, 1 Kool-Aid packet and only 1 1/3 quarts water. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze. The reduced water gives them a stronger flavor and makes them less hard.

Sno-cone syrup - heat 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a pan until boiling. Remove from heat and add 1 packet kool-aid. Pour into a container when cool (I use condiment type squeeze bottles w/ caps) and chill. Pour syrups over shaved ice - the more flavors the better according to my son.

Send 'em to me!!!

Honestly, we go through a jug or two a day (depending o how many kids are here, and if my hubby is working outside or not). I only use 2/3 cup of sugar when I make it...and nobody has complained yet!

I'm curious to see any recipes, though!
