Homemade Pudding Pops

Just a  super quick treat to make kids happy....


1 box any flavor Jell-O instant pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
Small cups (like shot-sized)
Sticks
Any additives like fruit, sprinkles, chips...

1. Mix 1 box of pudding mix with the cold milk.
2. Whisk for 2 minutes.
3. Add whatever the kids would love to the pudding mix one semi-thickened.
4. Pour into cups and put stick in the middle.
5. Freeze for at least 3 hours until completely solid.
6. To release, either peel off the paper cup or dip cup in warm/hot water for a few seconds and they slide right out.

*** Mom's Note: I used vanilla pudding with half rainbow sprinkles and half mini-chocolate chips. They were both great!

Trix Treats

Again, another cereal My kids don't eat.

I have never been one for sweet cereals.

I always chose Raisin Bran, Plain Cheerios, or Granola even as a small kid.

So, when I bought Trix instead of Fruit Loops, I did not know I made a big mistake.

Apparently, they are not  (i repeat NOT) interchangeable!

OK, so the recipe....

1/3 c. Corn Syrup

2 tsp. butter

1 (3 oz.) pkg. Jello, any flavor (I used Cherry as that is what I had on hand)

4 c. Trix cereal

1. Grease an 8" pan with butter.

2. Mix syrup, butter and Jello in a small-medium sauce pan over high heat.

 

3. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

4. Pour over cereal in separate bowl & Stir until well-coated.

5. Quickly, spread into 8''-square greased pan and place in refrigerator for a minimum of 2-hours to allow to set properly.

6.  Cut into squares when cool.

***Mom note***: These were sweet and sticky. My baby was completely a mess after eating a small piece. Yuck! My 3-year old said he loved them although he didst eat his whole piece. So my verdict, worth a shot, but not that great. Maybe try a less sweet flavor and make sure to boil for a minute instead of when it 1st comes to a boil.
