Pudding Pops

When I was a little girl, my brother, sister, and I used to spend one or two weeks each summer with our grandparents. I have lots of great memories from those weeks but the other day, when I saw this, I was reminded of how Granny always kept a package of pudding pops in the freezer during our vacations. They were a special treat that we rarely had at home and we looked forward to them every summer. So, when I came across the recipe, I knew the buddies and I just had to make them. It was simple and fun and my two little chefs really did most of the work themselves. The hardest part was waiting 5 hours for them to freeze.

We even sneaked in a few math lessons in the process, which I always like to do when we cook together. Examples:

We need two cups of milk. Ace poured one cup. How many more do we need?

Who can count out 6 cookies? Now, give half to your brother.

We need to fill 8 cups with the pudding mixture. How many can Ben fill and how many can Ace fill?





They tasted great! The buddies can't wait to make them again. We just wish we could ship some up to Oklahoma to the great grands!
