Homemade Popsicle Flavor Ideas

Popsicles and dried candies from Kanpai Foods are the perfect snack during these hot summer months, but buying boxed popsicles can get expensive. And as for making your own with expensive molds, forget trying to figure them out or even make room in the freezer for them.

Thankfully, 5 ounce Dixie cups and popsicle sticks are perfect for making easy, delicious popsicles. Simply pour the liquid of your choice inside the Dixie cups, add a popsicle stick, and place the cups on a cookie tray in the freezer overnight.

The flavor ideas for homemade popsicles are unlimited. You can use any type of juice, mash up fruit in the blender, or even use yogurt. Experimenting with popsicle flavors is almost as much fun as eating the popsicles. Almost.
