Kinderville Little Bites Ice Pop Molds (Set of 4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Depending on your ice pop recipe, this can be a pretty good mold. I bought a set of these along with the Lekue Silicone Ice Pop Mold, Set of 2 and the Orka Ice Pop Molds, White Base. These are a nice size (about 1 1/2" at the base and a little less than 6" tall) and hold somewhere between 3 1/2 and 4 ounces each. My one big complaint is that they are NOT water-tight. While the instructions tell you to turn them upside down in the freezer, they will definitely leak if you're trying to make juice pops. If you're making fudge pops or anything that has some viscosity to it, they work great. Since I normally do fudgy or creamy pops anyway, I gave this 4 stars. If you're looking for a mold that won't leak at all, choose the Lekue. It's more expensive and takes up a bit more space but it works flawlessly no matter what you're freezing. The Orka mold, which holds half as much as the other two brands and freezes upright, also works great but I would recommend it only if you are looking for a mini pop and have lots of space in your freezer.

Traditional Freezer Pop Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Look carefully at the picture above. There's a popsicle tray, then a metal top that goes over it with small slits for popsicle sticks, which are all resting out of the tray at slightly different angles. (In real life, it's impossible to get them to stay even that straight.) So, to skip to the punchline, when you try to remove the metal tray, you can't, since the sticks aren't straight, and aren't all slanted in the same direction. Pulling out the tray ends up dislodging all of the popsicles at the same time. It breaks some, and it's an enormous hassle. This is an awful product that, clearly, was never tested before being put on the market.

Tovolo 80-8003Y Yellow Groovy Pop Molds Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used several ice pop molds over the years, and up until now I thought Tupperware's pop molds were by far the best. These Tovolo molds lack the ability to replace either the cap or the handle (they are one molded piece) but the plastic used in the cap/handle and the mold is easily the best I've ever seen for pop molds. It's too early to predict how well these will actually hold up after dozens of freezings and thawings, but if the quality of materials is any indication, they should last a long, long time.
One month later:
While I still think these are overall the best pop molds I've ever used, I did discover one thing about them (the hard way, naturally): don't drop them on anything hard (i.e., a tile floor) after they've been in the freezer for a day or more. The yellow caps/lids tend to get brittle after freezing, and they will crack and/or break. The opaque molds don't appear to have this issue, although I don't plan to intentionally test their break-resistance threshold. I glued mine back together with Barge Cement. It's not pretty but it's functional.

Progressive International Freezer Pop Sticks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Every summer we hear the sound of the ice cream trucks as they weave their way through our neighborhood, and it can get a bit costly over a week if we indulge in the frozen treats offered by them. It was for that reason that we began to look into making our own popsicles and frozen treats.
These Progressive International Freezer Pop Sticks offer an excellent start for us to make our frozen treats on a stick, and it's an excellent way to create concoctions that are not only easy to do, but fun for all involved. Homemade popsicles can save money, reduce the trash that we toss, and will help to save resources. They are fun to make, as kids love to experiment with different combinations.
But a few words of caution: please note that there is a big difference between the Craft Sticks found here and the ones being reviewed. Craft sticks are just for use with crafts, while the ones in this review are essentially a food-grade item, though they can be used for crafts as well... think of these as being dual-purpose.
You can make your own frozen pops using waxed paper cups or a mold, such as the Progressive International Freezer Pop Maker which will mold then into a more convenient and traditional shape. Using one of these also reduces the chance of spillage accidents in the freezer, which is something that many of us learn the hard way. The main thing to remember is to keep it simple, and have fun sharing the experience.
Here are a couple of our favorite easy recipes, proven by trial and error:
Quick & Easy Creamsicles
1 (6 oz.) can frozen Florida orange juice concentrate
1 (6 oz.) can water
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened, (or vanilla yogurt)
Mix ingredients in a blender or with a power hand mixer for 30-45 seconds. Pour into molds, insert sticks, and freeze. Makes about seven, 2.5 oz. creamsicles.
Strawberry-Orange Popsicles
1 quart Florida orange juice
2 cups strawberries, frozen or fresh
3 tablespoons sugar (omit if using sweetened strawberries)
1 cup vanilla yogurt or softened vanilla ice cream
Blend till smooth or not-so-smooth, depending on preference. Pour into molds and freeze. Makes about twelve 2.5 oz. popsicles
Note: with any of the above, add the popsicle sticks after your creation has partially set for about 15 minutes.
We're looking for new recipes to try, and especially for a really good recipe for mango popsicles. If you have any, please feel free to leave them in the comments.
Homemade popsicles are cool (and no pun intended) because you can make them healthy, organic, and with the type of ingredients you like.
