We've officially hit that time of year that every day ice cream requests have replaced the every day hot chocolate requests.
Since my kids have come home from school more than a few times with the telltale artificial blue-icee stains under their noses, I like the idea of making them something a little healthier (a little?) that will still satisfy the sweet tooth, like this homemade fudgesicle recipe at Martha Stewart.
With just 15 minutes of prep and standard ingredients like unsweetened cocoa powder, heavy cream, and a good vanilla extract, in no time at all you'll be pouring the mix into a standard popsicle model or hey--cheat with any mold at all or even small paper cups that the kids can tear open to reveal the booty.
If I've found one thing about summer treats, it's that the packaging matters to kids very little. Even if we want them to look good. -Liz
