Are You Tired of Biting Open Freeze Pops and Getting Sticky? Wish There Was a Better Way?

There is. And your kids will never need your scissor or your teeth again when it’s time for freeze pops.

Freeze pops are summer’s most economical refresher. They’re the treat our kids enjoy at the end of each camp day, and almost every freezer has a box ready to go.

If you overlook the food coloring and sugar for a few moments, they’re also practical, with a plastic sleeve there’s less drips. (Victoria freezes hers on Friday and defrosts them after the weekend so the kids aren’t taking ices all day all week).

But that plastic sleeve can also be a little annoying if you’re constantly hearing, “Mom, can you open this???”

There’s a solution:

Once they’re frozen, snip the tops.

      You don’t have to cut them until you are ready to eat it.
