*We used vanilla almond milk in these recipes that call for milk so that Daddio can eat them, but you can use any kind of milk, cream or even coffee creamer. We also doubled and tripled some of these recipes. AND the kids were not really in to waiting for the pops to set before putting sticks in so we covered them with foil and stuck the sticks through the foil to keep them centered while they freeze.

How cool! (pun intended)
Do the popsicle stick hold up?
Which was the favorite flavor??
Trey baked some frozen fish but then none of the kids ate it - because it was tortilla crusted tilapia instead of their fave frozen fish.
