Freezer pops are easy to make and kids love them with gummy worms! Just two ingredients and these icy summer treats are ready to go!
I am so excited to be a part of The Joys of Boys “Summer Survival For Moms of Boys“ series! I’ve teamed up with a whole slew of bloggers to help you keep your boys (and girls) busy this summer. Make sure to check out the list at the very bottom of the post for more fun recipes, crafts, and activities to keep your clan busy all summer long.
Who doesn’t love a homemade Popsicle on a hot summer day? We love to be creative and make Dirt Popsicles and S’mores pudding pops. But for this treat, I wanted to stay away from chocolate!
Gummy worm freezer pops are fairly straightforward to make and if your boys are old enough, they could definitely make them without much help from you (BONUS!). My little guys is 5 so he helped out.
You need exactly two ingredients to make this icy treat- gummy worms and lemonade. You could also use any clear-ish juice or soda.
I bought the gummy worms at the dollar store because they are a little smaller and I could get more in to each pop. You will also need some kind of mold. I have an obsession with molds so I have several.
The one pictured is from Tupperware but Amazon has lots to offer! If you’re in a hurry try a Zoku! You can also use paper cups and craft sticks or even just ice cube trays.
The process is easy – fill the mold with gummy worms. One dollar store bag got me about 3-4 pops. Make sure there is room to insert the stick! My son wanted to stuff them full of worms and then we didn’t have room for the sticks so we had to pull some out.
Carefully add the liquid. As I said, I used lemonade so we could see the worms, but whatever you want will work.
Insert the sticks and put those bad boys in the freezer. Mine froze for about 24 hours but I’m sure they were done sooner.
You might need to run the pops under a little hot water to get them to pop out of the molds.
My kids loved these! And they are so easy to make!
